Dear all,
We are using Python 2.5, matplotlib and NumPy on Windows to assist
with the teaching for an undergraduate paper. On a small number of
installations, an error attempting to load some required DLL's is
being reported (on approx 3 machines out of approximately 60). There
doesn't appear to be any pattern with this - we can seen it on one
install of Windows Server 2008 and also on various versions of Windows
XP (Professional and Home).
Symptoms are, after a "from pylab import *", the following traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Documents and
Settings\Jo\workspace\test\src\root\nested\__init__.py", line 2, in
<module>
from pylab import *
File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pylab.py", line 1, in <module>
from matplotlib.pylab import *
File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\pylab.py", line 206,
in <module>
from matplotlib import mpl # pulls in most modules
File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl.py", line 1, in <module>
from matplotlib import artist
File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\artist.py", line 4, in <module>
from transforms import Bbox, IdentityTransform, TransformedBbox,
TransformedPath
File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\transforms.py", line
34, in <module>
from matplotlib._path import affine_transform
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
The following versions of software are being used on all installs:
jre-6u14-windows-i586.exe, matplotlib-0.98.3.win32-py2.5.exe,
numpy-1.3.0-win32-superpack-python2.5.exe and python-2.5.4.msi
Some assistance attempting to debug this issue would be appreciated (I
have an install where this fault has been observed along with another
that works fine). (Note: The issue persists when the interactive user
has admin rights.)
Regards,
Patrick
