Dear AY, Thanks so much for posting your followup. I just went through building matplotlib 1.0.0 from source on my new iMac and your directions were invaluable. I did need to make some minor modifications to match the peculiarities of my setup - for example I am installing it with python 2.6. PYC FILE ISSUES After install and the manual copy to /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages (which is where numpy and scipy get built on this machine), the pyc files are pointing to /usr/local/lib still, which is something that shows up in ipython when browsing functions, and in backtraces... apparently this is a bug in python that got fixed in 2.7. To work around, I just remade the pyc files. I recompiled them all with compileall.compile_dir. The copying and pyc compilation had to be done with sudo commands since I didn't have permissions. FOURIER DEMO - PROBLEM AND FIX IN "lines.py" Next I tried my wx-based gui http://wiki.wxpython.org/MatplotlibFourierDemo. It raised assertions in lines.py, particularly the part where it tries to access path, affine = self._transformed_path.get_transformed_path_and_affine() (line 286) since self._transformed_path is None. When I fixed that by inserting if self._transformed_path is None: self._transform_path() then it ran into problems with ind += self.ind_offset since ind_offset didn't exist. I fixed that by adding if hasattr(self, 'ind_offset'): Is modifying lines.py the only way to fix this, or should I do something else in the fourier demo?
