Hello,
the matplotlib tutorial at
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/tutorial.html
states
If you are new to python, I recommend reading as much of the
_python tutorial_ and _numeric python manual_ as possible before
working with matplotlib.
"Python tutorial" and "numeric python manual" are links which both
point to the web page
http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/matplotlib-users
This is probably not where they were ment to be pointing to.
I think the link targets should be changed to be
http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html
and
http://www.pfdubois.com/numpy/html2/numpy.html
respectively.
I hope this helps,
Jochen
