I was not sure on which list to post this, but perhaps someone here can point me in the right direction. I maintain a few installers of scientific python packages for OSX, one of which being matplotlib. I generate mpkg installers with bdist_mpkg, and for the most part it works fine. However, for matplotlib, many users report the following error after installing and importing:
backend = matplotlib.rcParams[’backend’] AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘rcParams’ By context, I assume this has something to do with the matplotlibrc setup. This does not happen, by the way, when installing directly (ie. using python setup.py install) or via eggs. If anyone knows why this may be happening, I would appreciate some feedback. I'm also wondering if it may ultimately be easier to build eggs, then perhaps wrap in a nice applescript for a point-and-click installer.
