The MPL Qt backend requires PyQt (or, better, Qt4 and PyQt4). PyQt does compile against the Qt Library, and also takes quite a while to complete. PyQt does not use setuptools, and I am not sure how to make a generally usable binary distribution from it. I would say that installation is qu

2007-02-07 Thread Rob Hetland
Here are some notes I made -- I hope it might save someone a bit of time. So, I finally tried out a few other backends on mac os x. I had been recommending and using TkAgg, as this works out of the box on mac os x. However, it seems unsnappy sometimes, and there was this strange issue w
