John,
Tks vm for your reply. I was able to get the script to run with your
"examples" directory. Much appreciated.
However, when I unzipped the py.60a.zip files over my site-packages
directory and re-ran the script, I got the following error:
C:\Matplotlib\matplotlib src\examples>python stock_demo.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "stock_demo.py", line 4, in ?
from matplotlib.matlab import *
File "C:\Python23\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\matlab.py", line 134, in ?
from axes import Axes

in ?
from _transforms import IDENTITY, LOG10, Func, FuncXY, PolarXY
ImportError: cannot import name IDENTITY
C:\Matplotlib\matplotlib src\examples>
Is version 0.54.2 not the correct starting point for doing this unzip? If
solving this is a hassle, I don't mind going back to the old 0.54.2 and
waiting for the bug fixes that come with the next proper release.
Tks again,
Tom

Where are you getting the examples dir from? I notice that I failed to
upload a zip file that includes the examples directory with the
0.54.2 release. Are you using one from a previous release?
It looks like you make have a corrupt stock data file. I was able to load
the stock_demo example using both the numeric and numarray win32 builds,
with either numerix setting in my rc file.
I did, however, discover a bug in the navigation code in that example
related to data clipping.
The zip file below fixes the latter problem. Unzip it in your site-packages
dir (do not remove the old matplotlib code, just unzip this over it)
http://nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu:8080/files/share/matplotlib-py.60a.zip
And get a fresh examples dir from
http://nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu:8080/files/share/matplotlib-examples.60a.zip
Hope this helps,
JDH
