Mike,
I do apologize for that. We will have to get that fixed on the website (not
sure why it is happening). I have attached an example file for you to try.
Also, which version of matplotlib are you running? Without the error message
you are getting, it would be hard to tell you what is wrong (most likely it is
a version issue).

Ben et al.
This line causes the error:
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 import AxesGrid
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "demo_axes_grid.py", line 2, in <module>
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 import AxesGrid
File
"/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid1/__init__.py",
line 4, in <module>
from axes_grid import Grid, ImageGrid, AxesGrid
File
"/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid1/axes_grid.py",
line 6, in <module>
import colorbar as mcolorbar
File
"/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid1/colorbar.py",
line 26, in <module>
from matplotlib import docstring
ImportError: cannot import name docstring
I see no axes_grid1.py where I guess it belongs. Here's what's in
/usr/share/pyshared/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid
parasite_axes.py axislines.py anchored_artists.py inset_locator.py
grid_helper_curvelinear.py axes_size.py __init__.py
grid_finder.py axes_rgb.py axes_divider.py
clip_path.py axes_grid.py angle_helper.py
Do I need to upgrade python? Matplotlib? Add just a file or two?
Mike
