simple plot error in cvs build

For some reason, the current cvs build of matplotlib
generates a strange error:

import pylab
pylab.plot([1,2,3])

yields:

ValueError: arrays must have same number of dimensions

I thought perhaps a second array was required, but:

pylab.plot([1,2,3],[1,2,3])

yields the same error.

Anyone else getting this?

Here is a full debug of the call using ipython:

In [4]: pylab.plot([1,2,3])

ValueError: arrays must have same number of dimensions

Judging from "matplotlib-0.86-py2.4-macosx-10.4-ppc.egg" I am guessing
you are not using cvs matplotlib. That is a strange error none the
less. 0.86.2 was released today. Can you give it a try?

I thought perhaps a second array was required, but:

pylab.plot([1,2,3],[1,2,3])

yields the same error.

Anyone else getting this?

Chris,

I'm not. Looking at your traceback, I see that your version of lines.py is not up-to-date, and is missing the changes required for numpy support that will solve this problem. There have been several such changes during the past week. Either there are big problems with CVS mirror lag, or you have not updated recently enough.

Eric

I think this was discussed on the devel list last week:
