Python 3

Hi, I have used Matplotlib extensively now for 2 years with python 2.x. I recently needed to move to python 3.1 which was greatly facilitated by numpy and scipy being ported to python 3. I was lucky in that all I have to change is many print statements. All on a Windows OS.

But my progress is severely limited by having no port of Matplotlib to python 3. I am definitely a user so have contributed twice to Matplotlib development.

Plea: If the stars align properly, I would be so grateful for a port of matplotlib to python 3.

Thanks for hearing me.

Did you try the py3k branch at <matplotlib download | SourceForge.net? It does work for simple plots.

Thank you for your fast reply and suggestion. I downloaded the GNU tar
ball and looked at it. Unfortunately due to my own limitations, I need
a win32 installer.
I'll have to bide my time I guess.

Looks like this backend hasn't been ported yet.

I remember seeing this on Gentoo and, unfortunately, never tracked it
down. However, it seems to me this is a problem with your PyQt4
install and Python 3, as QString should be found.

It's not a problem with the PyQt4 installation. PyQt on python-3 uses
PyQt's new API, which uses python strings and does not provide
QString, QChar, and friends.

I stand corrected. I don't know what's worse, being so blatently
wrong, or having wasted a bunch of time in the past trying to "fix" a
"broken" install.

Time to don ye olde paper bag...

ok. It means that the qt4 backend need to be ported to python3.
Should I try the tk backend ?
What's the plan? First port matplotlib core? Focus on one backend?
What do you want us to test? How should we report python3 related bugs?
