Hello I couldn't manage to find how to search the mailing list archive on sourceforge, so sorry if it is already discussed/developed.
There are many backends for matplotlib and debian/ubuntu packages depend on at least one of the interactive once [1]. But matplotrc as installed says "backend: TkAgg". This often results in errors upon importing pylab after installation saying "Please install python-tk". Has there been any work done about providing an auto backend? The one that would select the best one automagically. I've pocked into code a little bit. My understanding is to hook into pylab_setup() (lib/matplotlib/backends/__init__.py). That is if backend is auto, run a script which returns a name of the pretties backend which then is used. I think I will manage writing something like that. And I would be glad to collaborate. [1] One of the dependencies is: python-tk | python-gtk2 | python-wxgtk2.8 | python-qt3 | python-qt4 ps. cloned github repo, now updating, takes ages =D Maybe git hub needs to be updated with more revisions? =D -- With regards, Dmitrijs Ledkovs.
