Is this for a configuration which works, or which doesn't work?

Is there any pattern to which modules will import and which won't? I notice that matplotlib is a .egg file. I don't have any of these on my system (I do have a bunch of .egg-info files, which are just plain text), probably because Gentoo builds everything from source. -- Glynn Clements <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
