Did you try one of the 2.6 installers from the sourceforge download
page:
matplotlib-0.99.1.1-py2.6-macosx10.5.dmg
matplotlib-0.99.1.1-py2.6-macosx-10.3-fat.egg
Yes -- dumb! I just downloaded the wrong (2.5) installer; wherever I
originally got it, the 2.6 wasn't present.
So now I've installed it, and I can do 'import matplotlib' in Python.
But when I try to use it (on an example from the new "Natural Language
Processing with Python"), here's what I get:
>>> import matplotlib
>>> text4.dispersion_plot(["citizens", "democracy", "freedom",
"duties", "America"])
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/
python2.6/site-packages/nltk/text.py", line 452, in dispersion_plot
dispersion_plot(self, words)
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/

dispersion_plot
raise ValueError('The plot function requires the matplotlib
package.'
ValueError: The plot function requires the matplotlib package.See

Am I missing something just as obvious as before?
