I'm curious when the next release of matplotlib is due. My application is suffering badly from the issue that an incorrect font cache will cause matplotlib to fail (the application mysteriously exits partway through startup until the user deletes the font cache).
That problem is allegedly fixed on the trunk and I'm trying to decide how best to deal with it. Depending on the timing of 1.0.1 I can decide whether it's worth putting in my own workaround, bundling a prerelease version of matplotlib or just waiting for the official release. Regards, -- Russell P.S. does anyone know a way to get maplotlib to either not use its font cache or to use a version in mpl-data instead of ~/.matplotlib? When matplotlib is bundled into an application it seems dangerous for it to be sharing cached files with potentially older or newer versions that are installed or are bundled with other applications. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-devel mailing list Matplotlib-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-devel
