backend_agg attribute error

Here is what I did:

I firstly downloaded the example "quadmesh_demo.py".

Then I reinstalled the latest mpl (0.86.2). When I tried to run the
example I got the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    import gobject
ImportError: No module named gobject

I then went on and changed the backend in matplotlibrc from GTKAgg to
WXAgg. Running the example resulted in the following error message:

This problem I have encountered this morning. Through a quick search I
came upon advice by Travis Oliphant to obtain mpl out of CVS. I only
substituted my installed lines.py with the lines.py obtained from CVS
and here is the results after running the example again:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\My
Leerkabinet\Installs\Python\Sandbox\Matplotlib\matplotlib\examples\quadm
esh_demo.py", line 16, in ?
    ax.pcolormesh(Qx,Qz,Z)
AttributeError: Subplot instance has no attribute 'pcolormesh'

It seems that we got passed ax = fig.add_subplot(111) in the example,
but I am not sure whether the problem is solved.

I hope the info is helpful.

self.draw_quad_mesh = self._renderer.draw_quad_mesh

AttributeError: draw_quad_mesh

This was added to the agg (which affects wxagg) backend between 0.86.1
and 0.86.2. This error is probably not coming from wxmpl/boa. See if
you can run the examples/quadmesh_demo.py which uses this new
functionality, after reinstalling the latest mpl.

I can't reproduce unfortunately. This is an attribute for subplot
with my version. Try print matplotlib.__version__ to ensure you are
not picking up on older files somehow. Or try printing
matplotlib.axes.__file__ as well.
