I'm pretty sure that MPL looks for it by trying to import it. does: import pygtk work with the version of Python you're using? > I followed the python/numpy/scipy installation method here: > http://projects.scipy.org/pipermail/numpy-discussion/2007-January/025368.html Those instructions are for the Universal Framework Python, that you can get from python.org and pythonmac.org/packages. That version does not play so well with Darwinports. > I installed pygtk (2.10.3) with mac/darwinports on my mac os 10.4 > ppcmachine. Are you using a darwinports python? that version of pygtk will probably only work with a darwinports python, and in that case, there may even be a darwinports matplotlib. In general, you need to use all darwinports python stuff or no darwinports python stuff. In theory, one could use PyGTK with he Framework build of python, using Apple's X11, but I've never seen a package for that. Why do you want to use pygtk on a Mac? why not TK or wx, or even try the cocoa back-end, though I have no idea what state that is in. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer NOAA/OR&R/HAZMAT (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
