I am trying to use matplotlib to generate some figures non-interactively
via cron, but I can not seem to get matplotlib.figure to import without
a gtk error, even when I specify to use an image backend. The problem
seems to be related to trying to import gtk when no X server is present.
The script runs fine when i am logged in locally, and when logged in
remotetely with X11 forwarding, but it fails when run through cron or
when logged in remotely with no X-server. It also does not help if I run
the script as: python script -dAgg
I am running matplotlib 0.91.1. Any hints on how to make this work? Am I
missing something here?
Thanks!

Here is an example (minimal) script that causes the error:
#start script
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
import matplotlib.figure
#end script
Output=
