Warning message

I receive the following message when I import pylab with: "from pylab import *":

/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/numerix/__init__.py:67:
DeprecationWarning: Numeric use as a numerix backed for matplotlib is
deprecated
DeprecationWarning, stacklevel=1)

What can be wrong here? I am on Linux Fedora 6, 64 bits version, Python
2.4.4

Thanks for any help.

In your ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc file set "numerix: numpy" in order to use numpy. AFAIK, the support for Numeric and numarray will be dropped sooner or later.

Random number generation is the art of producing pure gibberish as quickly as possible.

Correct. It has already been dropped in svn, so the next release will support only numpy. The numerix module will still be present, so the change to numpy-only inside mpl should not break user code, provided the user has numpy installed.
