OK, I can reproduce the problem and the solution is easy. Open the
file in universal mode and pass the file handle to csv2rec::
fh= file('myfile.csv', 'rU')
r = csv2rec(fh)
fh.close()
Here is an example ipython session:
In [2]: import matplotlib.mlab
In [3]: r = matplotlib.mlab.csv2rec('tr
triangleplot_demo2.csv try
In [3]: r = matplotlib.mlab.csv2rec('triangleplot_demo2.csv')
