Re: [Matplotlib-users] [matplotlib-devel] Calling all Mac OSX users!
Ok, there has been a lot of useful discussion (for both MacOSX and Windows), but in the end, I want to know this: Is it possible for matplotlib to provide a single, recommended, fully-supported-by-us method for installing our package (possibly for each platform?). Could it be pip? Or some other option? It is kinda sad that the linux install instructions are easier than the other platform instructions, and I don't think we even provide a linux installer.

It's pretty easy using MacPorts (thank you MacPorts maintainers :) sudo port install py27-matplotlib Obviously that doesn't help when building a dev version, although you can build out of tree ports. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from. -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C -- uberSVN's rich system and user administration capabilities and model configuration take the hassle out of deploying and managing Subversion and the tools developers use with it.

Before we do so, we are doing some final checking of the documentation to make sure that all critical pieces of information iss correct and up to date. In checking over the instructions for building and installing matplotlib on MacOSX, I have found two separate sets of instructions. On the install page, there is a reference to a README.txt file in release/osx. This file is there, but it seems to refer to other files that no longer exists. Meanwhile, there is an un-referenced file in the top directory called README.osx that seems a lot more current. Because I do not have a Mac that I can use for development, I would like to ask the community for help in determining the correct set of instructions and to eliminate cruft. I think it would also be useful to point users to any relevant instructions for installing/building numpy on Macs. I would also like to make sure we are current with information on installing on a stock Lion install. Please feel free to respond on this list, or better, make a branch on github and submit pull requests to help us improve these documents. I wrote both of those files originally (make.osx and releases/osx/*). The original division of labor was the stuff in releases was designed to build the release binaries, and the stuff in make.osx was primarily used to build from svn or src. Overtime, most of the effort has gone into make.osx, and it now includes support for binaries. I no longer build the OSX binaries (Russell does) and no longer use OS X (back to ubuntu) so if Russell is not using the stuff in releases/osx, we can flush it.
