With EPD and mpl 1.0.1, the new API should work if you drop animation.py into your site-packages, eg as mpl_animation.py,and import it like import mpl_animation as animation Then later they can just change this to import matplotlib.animation as animation Let us know if you have any troubles with this approach. I've attached a double pendulum example which is fun, and illustrates how to animate multiple objects, a line instance for the pendulum and a text instance for the time counter. JDH
