I meant to send this to the list yesterday, but I just noticed I sent it only to Ben. For completeness, here it is…

Two days ago I posted some questions about upgrading, and was pointed to
the right resources by some readers who replied to me privately
(thanks!). I am running Python 2.6 on an Ubuntu Linux 10.10 platform.
The upgrade appeared to build successfully, but I still have problems.Line graphs appear to be working all right, but images and contour
graphs generate errors, and fail to draw.My procedure:
I deleted every last old matplotlib-related file from my hard disk,from
both my Python dist-packages directory and from my home directory. I
got my build dependencies up to date, and installed using git as
described here:http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/installing_faq.html#install-from-git
The three-line simple_plot.py script suggested here…

Now, here’s a very simple script of mine, which should draw a figure
with a colored bulls-eye:from numpy import exp, fromfunction, hypot
import matplotlib.pyplot as pltdef func(x, y):
return exp(-hypot(x-50,y-50) / 20)fig = plt.figure()
ax = plt.subplot(111)
arr = fromfunction(func, (101,101))
img = plt.imshow(arr)
plt.show()Instead, it draws an empty figure, and returns a long and
apparently-repeated traceback, which I hesitate to post in its entirety.
Here’s the last repeat. I believe that I got this eight times in a row:Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘nextafter’Programs which invoke contour() instead of imshow() fail similarly. I
downloaded the 1.1.0 animation examples (my whole reason for upgrading
was to use the new animation methods), and only the line-graph examples
work.As suggested (on a page I can’t quite track down now), I captured a log
of the build and install commands. The words “error” or “warning” do
not show up in either of those logs – and I did get several warnings
when building 0.99 and 1.0.1, so I feel like things ought to be workingbetter this time, not worse…
Thanks for any hints!
Looks like mpl truly can’t be used with older version of numpy. Which version are you using?
The version of numpy in Ubuntu 10.10 is 1.3, but the ‘nextafter’ function was added to numpy in version 1.4.
This page:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/installing.html
says “matplotlib requires numpy version 1.1 or later”, so either that page is incorrect, or a newer feature of numpy has been used in the matplotlib code unintentionally.
