Can you provide a traceback? I think this usage of os.path.walk may have crept back in from a recent merge from master. It didn't get noticed because it only runs if the user doesn't already have a font cache file.

I don't have a chance to look at this right now, but it you want to submit a patch to convert this os.path.walk usage to os.walk, that would of course be appreciated.

In general, don't expect the Python 3.x branch to be terribly useful for production work right now... There's probably lots of sharp edges like this still lingering beneath the surface.

Cheers,
Mike

Hi all,

grepping matplotlib-py3k from github, configuring, compiling and installing with python3.2 under Ubuntu posed no problems. Firing up python and import matplotlib shows no errors in the first place. Importing pylab brings up errors in cbook.py, namely the call to os.path.walk() in line 1069 which is deprecated since python3.0.

Without a proper replacement for os.path.walk() FontList.cache can't be generated. Is it just my fault at some point or is it still broken and needs fixing? If it needs fixing I will gladly look into it. What get's me wondering is that someone managed to get a simple plot out of mpl on python3.

Please give me a hint, if I need to work on it.

Greetz, Tobi
