No qt4agg backends running on example file

Hi,

I am using Ubuntu 10.10, and installed matplotlib from the
repository. But when running an example file embedding plot in Qt4 I
got the following errors:

[11:34 PM] $ python embedding_in_qt4.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "embedding_in_qt4.py", line 16, in <module>
   from matplotlib.backends.backend_qt4agg import FigureCanvasQTAgg
as FigureCanvas
ImportError: No module named backends.backend_qt4agg

Any extra steps for installing Qt4Agg backend ?

Thanks !

Best regards,
Forest

Essentially, I am having the same problem but installed from SVN. How do you install extra backends? I haven't seen where to do this. Although I want the TKAgg but I have installed TK/TCL.

I am running 10.04 Ubuntu.

Cheers,
Jeff

Do you have the python-tk package installed? If not, then after installing it you will need to rebuild mpl, since there is an extension module for tk.

Try installing the python-qt4 package. There is no extension code for the qt* backends, so I suspect this is all you need.

When I bold it doesn’t find Tkinter could this be the issue?? I have python-tk already installed. It finds it fine when I install the Debian package but not when I get it from SVN.

I can't parse that.
