Matplotlib.tests sub-modules missing

David_Welch · November 10, 2011, 5:44pm

Hello,

I am installing matplotlib on Snow Leopard 10.6. I downloaded v1.1.0 from the sourceforge site and installed in this manner:

cd matplotlib\-1\.1\.0 python setup.py build
python setup\.py install
$ python

import matplotlib as mpl
mpl.test("1")

...........EEEEEEEEEEE

(etc.)
#############################

The failure is for all modules in matplotlib.tests except for test_agg, test_cbook, test_mlab, and test_transform.

Is the sourceforge achive incomplete?

Update: test folders are in the build directory, they are just not
being copied during build.

*bump*

Have you tried removing the build directory and install directories to force a full rebuild? It sounds like the build or install got stuck at some point. I've never seen it not copy *.py files in a package before.

Has ANYONE installed matplotlib on OSX 10.6 and had the module tests pass? Specifically in a virtualenv setup?

Hi Micheal,

I didn't see your response, apologies for the frustrated post. I am building a completely fresh VE and when the testing fails I blow it away and start from scratch. I will try your suggestion on my next iteration and see if that fixes the problem.

Ideally, I'd like to "pip install" the module into my VE, but the same problem persists with that approach. My pip command is:

pip install -f http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/matplotlib/matplotlib/matplotlib-1.0/matplotlib-1.0.0.tar.gz matplotlib

per the suggestion from http://seanbehan.com/mac-os-x/installing-matplotlib-on-os-x-for-python-version-2-6-1/

If my setup.cfg file isn't configured correctly, could it cause an issue like this? I would think that the test sub-directories would be required, no matter the setup. I've attached the installation output below in case that sheds any light on the problem.
