Hello, I've just come across matplotlib and I'm very impressed. It looks very useful.
I just installed on a WinXP machine: enthon-python2.4-1.0.0.beta3.exe matplotlib-0.87.4.win32-py2.4.exe. The install went fine. I also put the default matplotlibrc file into my %HOME%\.matplotlib. I ran ipython from the "Start" menu. Note that this runs ipython without the -pylab argument. I started to try the first example and had a problem with "from pylab import * ". Also this failure occured using the "ordinary" python shell. The output from ipython is below. I'm afraid I mixed and matched inappropriately withe the enthought 2.4 beta 3 and matplotlibe 0.87.4 py2.4 pairing. Any thoughts? Thanks for your help.
