Hi Andrew, Just as a follow-up, loading the Ifeffit library from python worked for me on a separate Win7 machine (64bit). I even had Ifeffit installed to the non-default location. With Ifeffit installed to C:\apps\Ifeffit, I edited C:\apps\Ifeffit\bin\use_ifeffit.bat to read
@echo off SET IFEFFIT_DIR=C:\apps\Ifeffit\ SET IFEFFIT_BIN=C:\apps\Ifeffit\bin SET PATH=%PATH%;%IFEFFIT_BIN% SET PGPLOT_DIR=%IFEFFIT_BIN% SET PGPLOT_DEV=/GW Then from a command prompt: C:\>C:\apps\Ifeffit\bin\use_ifeffit C:\>python Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Nov 27 2010, 18:30:46) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import Ifeffit >>> x = Ifeffit.Ifeffit() >>> x.ifeffit('show $&build') $&build = 1.2.11c Copyright (c) 2008 Matt Newville, Univ of Chicago Does that work for you?
