Hello Gael (numpy friends),
I'd love to use Traits and TraitsUI. It looks
like a very promising approach. But why is it so difficult to install? If
I download the source from http://code.enthought.com/traits/, and follow the
instructions in enthought.traits-1.1.0/README, and then run the "code snippet
#1" in your tutorial, I get
--- begin error message ---

GG is green, and BB is blue, but a value of black was specified.

BTW, I'm using Python 2.4.4 on Macintel, with wxPython-2.8.0.
If I get the latest SVN of the enthought tool suite, go to
enthought/src/lib/enthought/traits,
and build with
python setup.py build_src build_clib build_ext --inplace
as suggested in the enthought wiki, and then add enthought/src/lib to my
PYTHONPATH, then your snippet fails with
--- begin error message ---
Traceback (most recent call last):

end error message ---
Last, I see that matplotlib includes some enthought/traits
code, but not the ui frontends. Why is that? Is the matplotlib traits usable?
As you can see, I'm very confused... if only there was a traits Python
egg...
Thanks!
