Yes Jake, I was able to import only the first i.e., wxagg backend. The
other two did not because it says I have to install pygtk and pyqt.
Here's the message:
>>> from matplotlib.backends import backend_wxagg
>>> from matplotlib.backends import backend_gtkagg
Traceback (most recent call last):

line 11, in <module>

ImportError: Gtk* backend requires pygtk to be installed.

line 21, in <module>
raise ImportError("Qt backend requires pyqt to be installed.")
ImportError: Qt backend requires pyqt to be installed.
Also I must mention one fact. When I tried ipython --pylab in my first
python install, the DOS shell would not recognize ipython as a command. I
was then asked to place the ipython batch file in the Scripts folder in the
main Python2.7 directory.
And then I was asked to set the environment variable for that directory.
I am now able to run ipython --pylab from dos shell. Therefore, as a test I
made a copy of ipython bat file and placed it in the main Python2.7 folder
which also has python executable and erased the environment variable
linking to the script file and then ran Julia. But error messages are the
same i.e., Julia still gives the same error as in my post.
Thank you for looking into this.
