hello, I just upgraded from 0.84 to 0.86 on windows xp. I noticed that I have a couple different locations on my computere where it is installed. there is something in the python24/share and also python24/Lib/site-packages/

what do I gotta do to make sure I am using the newest version. can I just delete all the matplot lib folders and reinstall the newest version?

thakns!

Recently the matplotlib data files have been moved into the matplotlib
module. You should be able to safely remove share/matplotlib.

Hi thanks for the help. I have a related problem. i had been using py2exe with matplotlib and it was working well. upgraded to 0.86 and now it doesn’t work. I know this is because the installation directory is different now (no longer the share folder). So I thought I fixed it correctly but I get an error that indicates py2exe “can’t find lib/site-packages/matplotlib/backends or it is not a regular file”. I am assuming that it doesn’t like ‘backends’ because it is a folder and not a file. I changed my setup code to this:

data_files=[
(“matplotlibdata”,
glob.glob(os.path.join(distutils.sysconfig.PREFIX, ‘lib’, ‘site-packages’,‘matplotlib’, “*”)))]

setup(
options = options,
# The lib directory contains
everything except the executables and the python dll.
windows = [app],
data_files = data_files,
# use out build_installer class as extended py2exe build command
cmdclass = {“py2exe”: build_installer},
)

how might I change this to get it working properly? thanks!!
