I'm not an expert but I thought I'd try and help... On Feb 19, 2008 7:15 PM, Stef Mientki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

This won't have the setup.cfg file, since it is a file that is used to configure the compilation process of matplotlib. Also this is why you can only use this distribution with specific versions of python, wx etc. If you choose to compile matplotlib yourself, then you have the option of completely disabling some of the backends, which is done via a setting in the setup.cfg file. I am not sure how easy it is to build matplotlib on windows, but on other platforms it is relatively straightforward. After obtaining the source distribution, ensure you have the requirements (including any development files) for the backends you want. Select the backends to build in setup.cfg and run python setup.py build followed by python setup.py install Hope this at least clears up the missing setup.cfg issue...
