The problem described in that bug report sounds similar to what happens if Python was not installed as a framework. The Mac OS X backend checks for that automatically, but the other backends do not as far as I know. If this is indeed the problem, we should consider checking this when importing matplotlib. I believe
>>> import sysconfig >>> sysconfig.get_config_var("WITH_NEXT_FRAMEWORK") should do the job. --Michiel. --- On Sat, 10/9/10, Eric Firing <efir...@hawaii.edu> wrote: > From: Eric Firing <efir...@hawaii.edu> > Subject: [matplotlib-devel] SourceForge.net: matplotlib: Modify: 2973874 - > Text box, Save dialog for mac > To: "matplotlib development list" <matplotlib-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> > Date: Saturday, October 9, 2010, 10:30 PM > https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2973874&group_id=80706&atid=560720 > > Would someone with a Mac please look at this bug and say > whether it is > occurring with our release of mpl?
