Would using macports be an acceptable/less fragile solution for you? My matplotlib (and pretty much everything) install via macports survived my Tiger -> Leopard upgrade (I did an archive install) just fine. Its dependency stuff requires you to intsall numpy via macports as well, but I think what I did was (long time ago now): $ sudo port install py-matplotlib To get everything up and running. At some later point I uninstalled py- numpy and py-matplotlib (it kept the rest of the dependencies) and have since been compiling them from svn. Everything seems to be working well for me. > Also, with plain python, you don't get the ">>>" prompt back 'till > you close > the figure window, whereas with pythonw you get it back as soon as the > figure's displayed. > That last is important to me, because it replicates the (to me) > single moust > useful thing about ipython.

For instance, I just (relatively) recently was made aware of the "%debug" trick that will drop you into where your last Error was raised if your script bombs out so that you can poke around to see what went wrong. So cool ... but, hey, whatever floats your boat :-) -steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
