I just created a binary installer for python.org's 64-bit Python 2.7
(MacOS X 10.6 and later). I'd like a few folks to test it to make sure
it works for more than just me, before serving it at the usual
location.

I can report that your installer has enabled me to successfully
execute the following two progams:

1)
import matplotlib as mpl
print(mpl.__version__)
print(mpl.__file__)
print(mpl.get_configdir())

2)
import matplotlib.pyplot as plot
xs = [2, 3, 5, 7, 11]
ys = [4, 9, 5, 9, 1]
plot.plot(xs, ys)
plot.savefig("squaremod10.png")

The second one took forever to finish executing, so I thought something
was wrong. But it finally finished and produces a nice .png! On
subsequent runs, the program took about 1 sec to execute.

Thanks!

The second one shouldn’t take much time at all to finish. How long did it take? How big was the png file?

Maybe it was building the font cache.
