The windows binaries for the latest matplotlib release are now
available for download at
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80706&package_id=278194
for python2.5 and 2.6 (if you need 2.4 please respond here). Sorry
for the delay, but we hit a nasty python2.6/libpng/mingw that held us
up. Thanks to Christoph Gohlke
for the visual studio builds and Charlie Moad for the MingW framework.
Please let us know if you have any troubles.

John,
I installed this on python 2.6.2 using the windows installer (the .exe) but
it crashes even on something as
simple as importing pylab from the interactive prompt. To make sure it
wasn't a conflict with other packages, I created a clean virtualenv
directory and installed matplotlib from the 2.6 egg, but the results are the
same. Trying to run any matplotlib example immediately creates a windows
exception dialog.

I installed the binaries using the .exe file on Python 2.6.2 but it throws a
windows exception when I try to do anything with matplotlib, even just
typing 'import pylab' in the python command interpreter. To rule out any
conflicts, I created a python virtualenv directory and installed matplotlib
from the .egg file, but it still throws an exception every time.

It seems that default backend for Windows binaries is TkAgg in Python 2.5 but
WXAgg in Python 2.6 (files from matplotlib/mpl-data in eggs are
different).So without WxPython (what is quite common) there is ImportError
with simple "from pylab import *".
It could be solved very simply and then everything is ok including saving of
png files.
Thank you,
Petr Marhoun

Apparently the binaries are fine but the default matplotlib rc is
setting the backend to wxagg. site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data and
set
backend : TkAgg
See also http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/customizing.html
Christoph, would you be able to rebuild the installers using TkAgg as
the default backend? Basically, at build time, you need to copy
setup.cfg.template to setup.cfg and set the line
backend = TkAgg
There are additional details at
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/devel/release_guide.html#packaging
and
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/installing_faq.html#backends
Thanks!

I do have wxPython 2.8 installed so I don't know why this would have caused
the problem in the first place, but I changed the matplotlibrc to backend :
TkAgg and I still get the windows crash. Just to be clear, this isn't an
import error or simple python exit; I'm actually getting the Windows crash
dialog box whenever I import pylab. Importing matplotlib doesn't seem to
cause any problems, but I haven't tried to do anything with it yet.

make sure you have a clean installation by removing
site-packages/matplotlib and any associated eggs. I tried the exe
installer and got the wxpython traceback. I switched to tkagg and was
able to make plots, save pngs, etc.
