Hello, could someone please help me understand a strange problem, possibly
associated with PYTHONPATH. When I import matplotlib, pylab, or scipy from
any directory other than the root installation directory, it fails. However,
if I'm in the python installation directory there are no errors. Thanks in
advance! Please see below:
