Hi Sandro,
Thanks for the tip.
In checking the HTTP logs, I found that the apache user couldn't create a
".matplotlib" directory (as it had no home dir) so i used the environment
variable MPLCONFIGDIR to point to somewhere meaningful, then I found that to
"import pylab" I needed a DISPLAY variable etc, etc, and I've eventually got
everything working as expected by importing like thus:
import os
os.environ['MPLCONFIGDIR']='/path/for/.matplotlib'
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Found this too, I should have RTFM :D

Cheers,
Mark
