Re: [Matplotlib-users] matplot crases because of XDG_CONFIG_HOME variable

[Paul Tremblay]

I've discovered the problem and a fix. $HOME is set to /home/ptremblay, but
/home/ptremblay does not exist. If I do:

import os
try:
        import matplotlib
except AttributeError as msg:
        os.environ['HOME'] = '/apollo/env/Ssdf/var/home_config/'
        import matplotlib

Then I can import the library.
