I've gotten easy-install running, which allowed me to download a brand-spanking new version of ipython (0.7.2). Recall I've also installed (via http://pythonmac.org/packages/py24-fat/index.html) matplotlib, Numeric, and wxPython (the latest version: 2.7.1.3; there was also a 2.6.3.3 version). I run my new ipython with the -pylab option (using WXAgg backend and interactive True) and still get the following warning: --------- /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site- packages/ipython-0.7.2-py2.4.egg/IPython/Shell.py:709: DeprecationWarning: The wxPython compatibility package is no longer automatically generated or activly maintained. Please switch to the wx package as soon as possible. import wxPython.wx as wx ---------- followed by the same ability to not be able to use matplotlib commands, e.g. from pylab import * plot([1,2,3]) gives the same Memory / wx error: ------- In [3]: exceptions.MemoryError Traceback (most recent call last) /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site- packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_wx.py in _onPaint(self, evt) 1046 self.realize() 1047 # Render to the bitmap -> 1048 self.draw(repaint=False) 1049 # Update the display using a PaintDC 1050 self.gui_repaint(drawDC=wx.PaintDC(self)) /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site- packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_wxagg.py in draw(self, repaint) 61 FigureCanvasAgg.draw(self) 62 ---> 63 self.bitmap = _convert_agg_to_wx_bitmap (self.get_renderer(), None) 64 if repaint: 65 self.gui_repaint() MemoryError: _wxagg.convert_agg_to_wx_bitmap(): could not create the wx.Bitmap -------- I also tried using the TkAgg backend, which produces very different complaints, e.g: ---------------- In [16]: rcParamsDefault['backend'] Out[16]: 'TkAgg' <snip> In [18]: plot([1,2,3]) <snip> exceptions.TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) <snip> /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site- packages/matplotlib/axes.py in set_xlim(self, xmin, xmax, emit) 1225 xmax += 1e-38 1226 -> 1227 self.viewLim.intervalx().set_bounds(xmin, xmax) 1228 if emit: self._send_xlim_event() 1229 return xmin, xmax <snip> TypeError: only length-1 arrays can be converted to Python scalars. ----------------- Have any of you been able to use matplotlib w/ipython in the MacPorts setting? What am I doing incorrectly? Thanks again, --b _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
