Re: [Matplotlib-users] Import matplotlib.pyplot fails on windows XP

Problem solved.

When I set up python on the Windows machine, I simply copied over the directories and everything in them from my Linux machine, including all of the python bytecode *.pyc files. Trying to run a script with those *.pyc files present was causing the problem as they were compiled on my Linux machine originally. 

The matplotlib call works fine when I move the scripts to a clean folder.

Thanks

Hello,

I've installed the following Python packages on a Windows XP machine:

Python 2.6.5

Python 2.6 numpy-1.4.1

Python 2.6 matplotlib-0.99.3 [installer - matplotlib-0.99.3.win32-py2.6]



Python and Numpy work correctly. Matplotlib also works and as a test I tried successfully the following on the python interpretor:

from matplotlib.pyplot import *
plot([1,2,3])
show()

A graph then appears and thus so far so good.



However, when I try to run a certain python script, a problem occurs when importing from matplotlib:

The error is that your Windows XP box does not have the wxPython module installed for Windows.

I hope that helps,
