I get namespaces. They are really great. It's just that I use numpy and mpl *so* much that the namespaces get in the way. Most of my (smaller) coding errors involve forgetting 'pl.' in front of an mpl function. There is also quite a bit of advice on the internet and otherwise that 'from numpy import *' is the way to import the library. For example, this is the approach in Oliphant's 'Guide to Numpy.' And really, numpy and mpl coexist beautifully, except for a few small exceptions. 'load' is one. (There are others I have run across as well). I think mpl should play nice even for folks like me who occasionally like to abandon separate namespaces. -Rob ---- Rob Hetland, Associate Professor Dept. of Oceanography, Texas A&M University http://pong.tamu.edu/~rob phone: 979-458-0096, fax: 979-845-6331 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
