Re: [Matplotlib-users] colorbar and logscale

Can someone point me to up to date installation instructions for Mac OS (10.6.4, python 2.6.4)? Every route I pursue hits a dead end. - if I install from dmg files on the matplotlib, it is not visible to my python installation (I think it installs to the OSX native python). - if I install via

Tim, I think you just need to direct the PYTHONPATH variable to the place where matplotlib is installed. My PYTHONPATH looks like this: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/python2.6/site-packages:/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages Hana On 6/24/10 6:45 PM, Tim Gray wrote:
