Problem solved ... even as orginally C++ or Java programmer it is strange, but a interpreted language makes it possible to obtain with an import at a different position a complety different behaviour during run-time. I just putted the import of mathplotlib and pylab after the file reading and af

I am using Matplotlib version 1.0.1 and I get errors if I try the following: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np plt.specgram(np.zeros(50)) I have pasted the error output below, but hopefully it would reproduce in other systems. I'm not sure if this is intended behavior and was w

The zeros(...) statement needs a contiguous block of > 800 MB RAM and the conversion another contiguous block of > 400 MB. Memory allocated during the matplotlib import statement could easily fragment the available memory such that no 800 + 400 MB blocks exist. Try monitoring your memory usage

Dear Christoph, It is not a memory problem, because before the programm starts I have more than 1.3 GB free memory left. And on the other hand it depends on the import line! There seems to be some interference of the packages. My Python version is 2.6 (needed by another programm), perhaps that al

Works for me on Windows 7 64 bit with 32 bit Python. I believe you simply run out of memory. On a 32 bit Windows OS, Python can only use 2 GB, which it has to share with other all processes. zeros((300,300,300,4),dtype=float64) requires ~820MB of contiguous memory, which might not be available
