Please test this patch on windows...

I attempted to improve the dependency checking in matplotlib.init, using the subprocess module to silence some deprecation warnings encountered with py2.6. I dont have access to a Windows machine, would someone please test the attached patch or init.py file to see if it works on that platform?

Thanks,

Darren

Do you need it tested with Python 2.5 or 2.6?

2.4 through 2.6.

I’m in the process of replacing my laptop, so I should be able to check it myself on Vista in two weeks.

With Python 2.5 in XP, I ran a cursory check and saw no problem initializing and using matplotlib with your init.py. As for the other Python versions, I’m afraid that I have neither of them installed.
