Hi folks,
I recently installed setuptools, and now whenever I build mpl
(I'm using 0.86), it gets installed in site-packages as an egg.
Fine, as far as use within python is concerned it works just
as before. But I just tried to install basemap, and the
installer puts it in site-packages in a new matplotlib directory
(i.e., not in the matplotlib...egg directory). If I try
to use it, I get an import error because it's not found
in the egg (which must the first place Python finds mpl).
How can I properly install an mpl toolkit in the egg scenario;
or if there is no easy way, how can I "turn off" eggs so when
I build mpl it makes a normal install. Just deleting the
build directory (and the egg from site-packages) and rebuilding
from scratch didn't do it.
Thanks,
Tom

We haven't put support in yet, but it is very easy to do. I will add
this to cvs very soon. For now:
Edit basemap's setup.py and replace "from distutils.core import setup"
with "from setuptools import setup".
In BOTH mpl's and basemap's setup.py file add this option to the setup
method, "namespace_packages = 'matplotlib.toolkits'".
Both mpl and basemap should be installed as eggs. The namespace is
how setuptools know separate packages share... a namespace.
Let us know if you run into problems.

This problem was more complicated than originally thought, but it is
working in cvs now. I updated basemap and matplotlib to express the
shared namespace matplotlib.toolkits. Now you should be able to use
matplotlib and basemap as separate eggs and all should work as
expected.
