[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#960573: python3-yt: h5py.File requires access mode to be specified

[Drew Parsons]

Package: python3-yt
Version: 3.6.0-2
Severity: normal

h5py is changing upstream to require the mode ('r', 'w', etc) to be
specified when h5py.File is used.  The Debian version of h5py has
already applied the upstream commits making this mandatory.

This affects yt in TestImageArray.test_image_array_hdf5 and test_h5_io,
specifically write_hdf5 in yt/units/yt_array.py line 965

They seem to be write tests so probably you want h5py.File(filename, 'w')
