Unfortunately that doesn't work for me. I get a "ValueError: Unrecognized
backend string "module://mybackend"" in rcsetup.py. Any other suggestions?
Matplotlib ist version 0.98.3.
Here is the output:
$ python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Mar 7 2008, 03:41:45)

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import matplotlib
>>> matplotlib.use("module://mybackend")

'template', 'WX']

Neither does the -d option work. "python --help" says:
...
-d : debug output from parser (also PYTHONDEBUG=x)
...
How is this option related to plotting backends?
Thanks
Jason
