First try >>> import numpy >>> numpy.test() there is a numpy problem on windows that affects older machines. If that works, create a simple test file that generates a plot and calls savefig and run it with > python myscript.py --verbose-debug-annoying try different backends by adding -dPS or -dAgg to the verbose flag from the command line and see which backends crash and report back with the verbose output JDH ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
