Re: [Matplotlib-users] matplotlib 0.98.5.3 windows binaries available
I installed the binaries using the .exe file on Python 2.6.2 but it throws a windows exception when I try to do anything with matplotlib, even just typing 'import pylab' in the python command interpreter. To rule out any conflicts, I created a python virtualenv directory and installed matplotlib from the .egg file, but it still throws an exception every time.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] matplotlib 0.98.5.3 windows binaries available
John, I installed this on python 2.6.2 using the windows installer (the .exe) but it crashes even on something as simple as importing pylab from the interactive prompt. To make sure it wasn't a conflict with other packages, I created a clean virtualenv directory and installed matplotlib from the 2.6 egg, but the results are the same. Trying to run any matplotlib example immediately creates a windows exception dialog.

Apparently the binaries are fine but the default matplotlib rc is setting the backend to wxagg. site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data and set backend : TkAgg See also http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/customizing.html Christoph, would you be able to rebuild the installers using TkAgg as the default backend? Basically, at build time, you need to copy setup.cfg.template to setup.cfg and set the line backend = TkAgg There are additional details at http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/devel/release_guide.html#packaging and http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/installing_faq.html#backends Thanks!

Re: [Matplotlib-users] matplotlib 0.98.5.3 windows binaries available
It seems that default backend for Windows binaries is TkAgg in Python 2.5 but WXAgg in Python 2.6 (files from matplotlib/mpl-data in eggs are different).So without WxPython (what is quite common) there is ImportError with simple from pylab import *. It could be solved very simply and then everything is ok including saving of png files.

Sorry for the delay, but we hit a nasty python2.6/libpng/mingw that held us up. Thanks to Christoph Gohlke for the visual studio builds and Charlie Moad for the MingW framework.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] matplotlib 0.98.5.3 windows binaries available
I do have wxPython 2.8 installed so I don't know why this would have caused the problem in the first place, but I changed the matplotlibrc to backend : TkAgg and I still get the windows crash. Just to be clear, this isn't an import error or simple python exit; I'm actually getting the Windows crash dialog box whenever I import pylab. Importing matplotlib doesn't seem to cause any problems, but I haven't tried to do anything with it yet.

I tried the exe installer and got the wxpython traceback. I switched to tkagg and was able to make plots, save pngs, etc. JDH -- Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects ___ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
