Hi,
I'm trying to install matplotlib from the svn source. I can compile
the code and install it to my desired location but I cannot import it
into python.
I did:
svn co matplotlib download | SourceForge.net
matplotlib
cd matplotlib
python setup.py install --prefix=/home/glen/local
I have numpy and scipy installed and working correctly using the above
prefix and matplotlib compiles and installs the same way but when I
issue "import matplotlib as mpl" nothing results. There is no error
but also no library.
dir(mpl)
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__', '__path__']
mpl.__path__
['matplotlib']
mpl.__file__
'matplotlib/__init__.pyc'
Where am I going wrong?
Glen

Hi Glen,
what directory are you in when you're doing this?
>>> mpl.__path__
['matplotlib']
suggests that you're importing from some local directory. If
everything worked right, the path should be something like
mpl.__path__
['/home/glen/local/lib/python2.x/site-packages/matplotlib']
best,
