Hmm, strangely, the rcsetup function was reverted and as you note, is broken, I just fixed it in svn to respect the flag, and tested with the use directive and -d, both of which worked for me. If you don't want to update to svn HEAD, you can edit rcsetup.py on your system and replace:: validate_backend = ValidateInStrings('backend', all_backends, ignorecase=True) with:: _validate_standard_backends = ValidateInStrings('backend', all_backends, ignorecase=True) def validate_backend(s): if s.startswith('module://'): return s else: return _validate_standard_backends(s) Should work...
