Hi,
I installed scipy a few days ago on my laptop (with os linux
debian), but while importing the pylab module from the python-matplotlib (version 0.98.1-1) I got the following error:
···

Could you please help me ?
Best regards,

It seems you have your locale set to something that Python doesn't support.
Can you send the output of "locale" to this list?
For example, I have:
> locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

hier is the output of locale:

de_DE@...2174... is perfectly valid and works fine with Python 2.5.2 on my machine, so it would appear it's not a Python shortcoming.
I suspect this is related to these lines:

This (usually) indicates that the definitions for the locale you've specified are not installed.
If you do
"locale -a"
is de_DE@...2174... listed?
If not, it's possible you're missing a package. But this is looking like a system configuration error, not a matplotlib one.
You may also get some clues from this Python bug:
http://bugs.python.org/issue1443504
Hope that at least helps. Sorry I can't suggest anything else -- I've never actually seen this myself, but then I work in a little English-speaking, U.S.-centric ignorance bubble

Yes I think there is missing package, so i will look for that …
Mike, thank you for your help and make a good work in your bubble
