Hi Olusina, I guess you have specific reason to prefer to use python2.4 and not install matplotlib into python2.5
I also have 2 versions installed on my computer, .. only one will work directly from the command line, the first one found on the path. however whenever I want to run a test against Version2.4 I can do that by calling the interpretor directly and pass the script name from command prompt c:\python24\python myscript.py or if you want to run the interpretor interactively D:\> D:\>c:\python24\python Python 2.4.3 (#69, Mar 29 2006, 17:35:34) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> ^Z D:\>c:\python25\python Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Sep 19 2006, 09:52:17) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> ^Z Hope this helps Steve olusina eric wrote: > I am a new user of Python and need to also use matplotlib but I am > having some problems which I hope somebody will be able to help me with. > I have two versions of Python on my laptop that runs on Windows XP. > Version 2.4 installed in a folder named python 24 and I also have > VisIt which has associated with it Python Version 2.5.
