Dear matplotlib-users, I'm having trouble importing pylab and I hope someone can help me. The error message is:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp. C:\Documents and Settings\Linda>cd desktop\python C:\Documents and Settings\Linda\Desktop\python>python readdata.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "readdata.py", line 1, in <module> import pylab File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pylab.py", line 1, in <module> from matplotlib.pylab import * File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\__init__.py", line 127, in <mod ule> import sys, os, tempfile File "C:\python25\lib\tempfile.py", line 33, in <module> from random import Random as _Random ImportError: cannot import name Random C:\Documents and Settings\Linda\Desktop\python>python Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Dec 23 2008, 15:10:54) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> As you can see, I'm using 2.5. The matploblib module that I downloaded was from sourceforge.net, as was the python 2.5. readdata.py, the program that gave this error message, is: import pylab with nothing else but comments. The strange thing is this was working before, and it suddenly stopped working, with the same version and matplotlib module. What is the problem? Thanks, Linda Chen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
