Dear all,
I’m running matplotlib 0.98.5.2 on a machine with Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10. It’s
worked well for me so far, but I encounter problems running matplotlib when
trying to update the PYTHONPATH in the .bashrc file. Adding just the line
“export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH”, for example, gives the following:
$ ipython -pylab
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/bin/ipython”, line 27, in
IPython.Shell.start().mainloop()
File “/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/IPython/Shell.py”, line 1219, in
start
shell = _select_shell(sys.argv)
File “/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/IPython/Shell.py”, line 1188, in
_select_shell
backend = matplotlib.rcParams['backend']
AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘rcParams’
Most likely you are adding a directory to the path that has a
directory named matplotlib in it (eg the matplotlib src directory)
which is not the matplotlib install directory. Try doing
import matplotlib
print matplotlib.file
when the PYTHONPATH is set to the troublesome value and then do an ls
on the directory that is reported by the file printout. Post the
listing here and we can advise further.
