ImportError: cannot import name rcParams

Hi All,

I’m running into the following error when I try to run any of the matplotlib examples:

$ python anim.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “anim.py”, line 19, in 

import pylab as p

File “C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pylab.py”, line 1, in
from matplotlib.pylab import *
File “C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\pylab.py”, line 206, in 

from matplotlib.numerix import npyma as ma

File “C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\numerix_init_.py”, line 20, in
from matplotlib import rcParams, verbose
ImportError: cannot import name rcParams

I’m using the latest versions of matplotlib and numpy, ActivePython 2.5 (all for Windows XP). Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Brian.

There was a bug in our windows installer. Please remove the old mpl
install, grab the latest installer from the download site, and try
again.

Sorry for the trouble!

Thanks,
