Hi John,
I've now retraced my steps and discovered that GTKAgg exhibits the crashing problem but TkAgg seems to exhibit a different but maybe related problem.
I uninstalled 0.53.1 again and confirmed that the old \site-packages\matplotlib directory was removed.
I'm trying the matplotlib-0.54.win32-py2.3.exe version with Numeric and the only .matplotlibrc setting changed being
backend : GTKAgg
import matplotlib
returns without complaint but
import matplotlib.matlab
generates a pythonw illegal operation dialog with "PYTHONW caused an invalid page fault" etc. and causes IDLE generates a
"================================ RESTART ================================"
line.
If I use
backend : TkAgg
instead
import matplotlib.matlab
now returns without complaint
However, there are problems. For example, I tried running a previously working plot script from SciTE and it now generates an abnormal program termination MSVC++ Runtime library error from pythonw.exe prior to a page fault.
This time, python generates something:
Fatal Python error: PyEval_RestoreThread: NULL tstate
Process failed to respond; forcing abrupt termination...
let me know if there's anything else you want me to try
regards,
Gary

Did you use the numarray or numeric matplotlib build? There is a
problem with the numarray build in that it was built against numarray
CVS. Hopefully we can get a new build up tomorrow.Do you get a segfault or a traceback? Are there any messages?
Thanks,
