Hmm, I'm wondering why no one in answering your post. May you please
do the following:
I assume that you aren't so much familiar with Python etc., because
you didn't do the following steps on your own. If this is wrong,
please feel not offended.
Please try:
import matplotlib.mpl
import matplotlib.dates
import matplotlib.mlab
import matplotlib.pyplot
This should be the essential imports done by import matplotlib.pylab
Can you also do the following:
import __builtin__
old_import = __import__
def new_import(name, *args, **kwargs):
print name
return old_import(name, *args, **kwargs)
__builtin__.__import__ = new_import
and then type:
import matplotlib.pylab
Or do the monkeypatch after import matplotlib, if that makes no
trouble at all. It will print all the import attempts before
executing them.
I'm curious at what import it fails ...
I also wonder why it's pythonw.exe. It means that you have no output
on console. In this case:
import sys
outfile = open('log.txt', 'w')
sys.stdout = outfile
sys.stderr = outfile
This will log the hidden output in "log.txt".
