What does the command `python.exe -v -c "from matplotlib import pylab"` say?
MPL 0.99.1 contains a bug (#2903460) that crashes the _path module on slow Pentium CPUs (at least when using Python 2.6). A updated installer is available at <http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#matplotlib>. It might help to add the path where python.exe is installed to the Windows search path. E.g. try `SET PATH=C:\Python25;%PATH%` before running your program. Christoph On 1/21/2010 11:06 PM, Brendan Barnwell wrote: > Hi, > > I decided to upgrade to matoplotlib 0.99.1. I'm on Windows XP.
