Hi Ethan,

Thanks for letting us know about this problem with our dmg. According to this post

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24768145/matplotlib-import-error-ft2font

the problem is caused because Matplotlib 1.3 (as it's normally built) is incompatible with MacOS X 10.6. The solution is not that hard to implement, so I'll fix for 2.3.1 (to be released this weekend).


Cheers,
Carlos

Hello!

I just started trying to learn Python using the spyder environment (I do astrophysics research and am tired of other languages and graphing applications).

I am simply trying to utilize matplotlib, which I believe should be included with Spyder, but on 3 separate machines now I get the same error, included below.

I have used the Mac OSX .dmg installation for all of the attempts, and I believe all computers have been running 10.6.8.

I simply type, in console, "from matplotlib.pyplot import *" which leads to:

">>> from matplotlib.pyplot import *
Traceback (most recent call last):

  Expected in: /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib

I was hoping someone could help me out, thank you!
