[FLASH-USERS] FLASH's python tools

Dear Ryan,

Thanks for your suggestion. I looked into the python tool in 
/tools/python/output.py & yt_derived_fields.py/. I tried to import those 
files into my jupyter notebook. I find most of them is outdated (in 
FLASH4.6.2), even the /yt/ command such as /from 
yt.data_objects.field_info_container import add_field /does not exist 
anymore. Only part of the file is compatible with python3 (e.g. 
tools/scripts/extract_rays.py). I will try out yt for the plotting.

Regards,
