Matplotlib sphinx extension crashes Python

Hi,

I’m having trouble getting the sphinx matplotlib extensions to work. After adding “‘matplotlib.sphinxext.plot_directive’” to the extension list for my documentation project, when running the sphinx build script, Python immediately crashes (“python.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience…”).

I assume it’s a matplotlib C extension issue (because I don’t see why sphinx would crash the interpreter).

I’m using 32-bit Windows XP, matplotlib 0.99.1 and sphinx 0.6.5. I’ve tried both Python 2.5 and 2.6 with the same result.

Importing matplotlib and plotting works just fine.

Anyway you can get a traceback in a debugger? (I'm not a regular Windows user). It's hard to guess what could be going wrong without any further clues.
