I agree.
Here's more info (redundant?) regarding what I've tried, in case it
clarifies. (Ultimately, I will obviously need to upgrade to 0.9, at
which point I can report back on if this fixed the problem on my
machine, but I can't do that until after the semester is over, mid
May). I'm running MacPython 2.4.4. I've got matplotlib 0.87.7 w/
TkAgg. I'm using IPython 0.7.4.svn.r2010, called with the -pylab
flag. I'm running the tests reported here on a G5 (I've also seen
them on a G4), using OS X 10.4.8.
In [2]: import matplotlib.axes3d as P3
In [3]: f = P.figure()
In [4]: ax = P3.Axes3D(f)
In [5]: ax.plot3d([1,2,3],[1,2,3],[1,2,3],'ro-')
In [6]: P.show()

NOTE COMMENTED OUT LINE 2132. NOW I'LL DO THE SAME THING (FIRST
RESTARTING IPYTHON) W/THE OTHER LINE COMMENTED OUT INSTEAD,
No error occurs and the figure plots as one would expect.
If there is anything else I can do to clear things up, please let me
know.
I've got a list of other things that don't work the way I'd expect
that I will post soon. Perhaps you can give me a link to where to
find the changes made since 0.87.7 first, as I'm new to reading that
kind of thing. Hopefully when Tim tries this stuff out on his end,
we'll know more.
Thanks,
