Package: python-matplotlib Version: 0.87.5-2.1 Severity: important Tags: patch
Hi, when trying to follow the basic tutorial[1] of matplotlib, I have to import * from pylab, which results in the following trace: 1. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/tutorial.html --8<----8<-- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ python Python 2.4.4 (#2, Oct 20 2006, 00:57:46) [GCC 4.1.2 20061007 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-16)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from pylab import * Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
