When I did all that stuff, I tried to make setup.py choose the backend for the default matplotlibrc intelligently. It defaults to agg, but then if a gui toolkit is available it will use that. BUT, maybe you want to tell matplotlib what the default backend should be, so you can set that in setup.cfg and THAT setting has precedence, see the template. That feature was added specifically for package managers, and I hoped it would make your life easier, Charlie. You should be able to edit setup.cfg, set the backend there, and it will be propagated to the default matplotlibrc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
