[matplotlib-devel] No output when using webagg backend

2014-05-07 Thread Skip Montanaro
Apologies for those of you seeing this for a second time. I've
received no response on matplotlib-users, so I'm turning to the
experts.

In one message, I wrote:

I'm trying to use the webagg backend for the first time, and seem to
be bumping into a common problem - nothing appears. The first time I
tried, I got a complaint that tornado was missing, so I installed it.
After that, I get to try plotting. Here's my example:

>>> import matplotlib
>>> matplotlib.use('webagg')
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> plt.plot(range(10))
[]
>>> plt.show()
Created new window in existing browser session.
Press Ctrl+C to stop server
^CServer stopped

When I execute plt.show(), a new tab opens in my browser (Chrome, on
Linux) with this URL: http://127.0.0.1:8988. That page has a single
link (text: "Figure 1"). If I click that link, I get this URL:
http://127.0.0.1:8988/1, but nothing appears. The page source contains
a bunch of JavaScript references. For instance:






I see those JavaScript files at appropriate places in the
.../backends/web_backend directory. What am I missing?

then followed that up with a bit more information:

I tried this at home on my Mac. Tornado was already installed, so I
updated it to 3.2.1, and ran a Matplotlib app I have which allows me
to set the backend on the command line. I get the exact same behavior
as at work on my Linux desktop. I get a page at 127.0.0:8988 with a
"Figure 1" link. Clicking that takes me to 127.0.0.1:8988/1, which is
a blank page.

Chrome is my default web browser on both Linux and the Mac. I manually
visited the page from both Firefox and Safari, clicked the link,
and... nothing. The same behavior as on Chrome.

Then I had the bright idea to look at the JavaScript console. It shows
this error message:

  Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token &

Clicking that error took me to this line:

var fig = new figure('1', websocket_url_prefix);

Are those entities supposed to be '1'? What bit of code generates
that JavaScript?

Can someone provide a bit of direction? I can't find the code that
generates the above snippet of JavaScript, but Chrome, at least,
doesn't like it.

Thx,

Skip

[matplotlib-devel] Minimum python version 2.6 vs 2.7

2014-05-07 Thread Federico Ariza
Hello

Working on the MEP22 I would like to use an OrderedDict but it is only
natively available from python 2.7

Are there any plans to remove 2.6 for matplotlib 1.5?

If not. I will just use a list with dicts inside, not as elegant but works.

Thanks
Federico

Yes I know.

But I don't want to pollute more than strictly necessary. There is already
too much unused code around.

It is also technically possible to use a drop-in fallback
implementation on older pythons, e.g.:
  https://github.com/pydata/patsy/blob/master/patsy/compat.py#L120
  https://github.com/pydata/patsy/blob/master/patsy/compat_ordereddict.py
