That get's me a bit further (adding the local installation directory to the
path) but there is still some errors. The application is able to find and
load the multiprocessing module, but one of the python scripts within that
module (util.py) is trying to 'from subprocess import
_args_from_interpreter_flags', and it can't find that name in the subprocess
module.
This seems to me that portions of the python modules are being loaded from
within Veusz and the ones that aren't already packed in are loaded from the
external reference. Perhaps they are each referencing different versions of
the subprocess module? I apologize for the questions - I'm not very
experienced with Python...
Has anyone successfully used this plugin before? The link is here:
http://code.google.com/p/mdfreader/. Even if someone can just confirm that
it loads properly in their installation then it would be a big help to my
debugging activities.
Thanks again for your help.
