Hi Robin and Stef, Robin wrote: This is a binary distribution, that is one that has already been compiled on a different machine.

Also this is why you can only use this distribution with specific versions of python, wx etc. I am under the impression that as of mpl 0.9x there is NO specific version dependency for wxPython. I believe there was some optimization code which forced a dependency on wxPython 2.6 Unicode for the wxAgg backend. Werner - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Let's keep this on matplotlib-users so we don't annoy the good folks at the wxpython and distutils lists... If you google for this problem you will be surprised how many people bump into these two problem, ( matplot datafiles and the tk-issue ) But ok, let's first find the solution ;-) setup.cfg is a build/configure file that ships w/ matplotlib in recent versions (0.91.x). If it is not in your source distribution, let us know which distro you are using, __version__ = '0.91.2' __revision__ = '$Revision: 4802 $' __date__ = '$Date: 2008-01-06 12:10:34 -0500 (Sun, 6 Jan 2008) $' where you got it from, probably: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80706 matplotlib-0.91.2.win32-py2.4.exe what you have already, etc Although I don't see how this can delete a setup.cfg from matplotlib, ..

I'm not an expert but I thought I'd try and help...

This won't have the setup.cfg file, since it is a file that is used to configure the compilation process of matplotlib. Also this is why you can only use this distribution with specific versions of python, wx etc. If you choose to compile matplotlib yourself, then you have the option of completely disabling some of the backends, which is done via a setting in the setup.cfg file. I am not sure how easy it is to build matplotlib on windows, but on other platforms it is relatively straightforward. After obtaining the source distribution, ensure you have the requirements (including any development files) for the backends you want. Select the backends to build in setup.cfg and run python setup.py build followed by python setup.py install Hope this at least clears up the missing setup.cfg issue...
