Hi,

the formlayout part in the latest matplotlib requires python >= 2.5
See http://www.mail-archive.com/matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg19219.html
That causes troubles on very popular in RHEL 5 based distributions - they use an old python 2.4 still.
Can this be fixed for the next release?

Best regards,

Marcin

Absolutely… this is definitely a bug and should be fixed for the 1.0.1rc release. I will patch it up right now.
