It seems you have your locale set to something that Python doesn't support.
Can you send the output of "locale" to this list? For example, I have: > locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= Saber Mbarek wrote: > Hi, > > I installed scipy a few days ago on my laptop (with os linux debian), > but while importing the pylab module from the python-matplotlib > (version 0.98.1-1) I got the following error: > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Aug 8 2008, 09:22:44) > [GCC 4.3.1] on linux2 > Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. > >>> import scipy > >>> import numpy > >>> import pylab > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> > File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pylab.py", line 1, in <module> > from matplotlib.pylab import * > File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py", line > 128, in <module> > from rcsetup import defaultParams, validate_backend, validate_toolbar > File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/rcsetup.py", line > 18, in <module> > from matplotlib.colors import is_color_like > File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/colors.py", line > 39, in <module> > import matplotlib.cbook as cbook > File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/cbook.py", line > 14, in <module> > preferredencoding = locale.getpreferredencoding() > File "/usr/lib/python2.5/locale.py", line 514, in getpreferredencoding > setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") > File "/usr/lib/python2.5/locale.py", line 478, in setlocale > return _setlocale(category, locale) > locale.Error: unsupported locale setting > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Could you please help me ? > > Best regards, > Saber > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge > Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes > Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world > http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Matplotlib-users mailing list > Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users > -- Michael Droettboom Science Software Branch Operations and Engineering Division Space Telescope Science Institute Operated by AURA for NASA ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
