Sorry to follow up my own posting, but I found one way to do it: modify matplotlib's setup.py file to always install dateutil and pytz. It turns out normally only installs them if a version doesn't already exist. This points up a weakness in trying to package matplotlib: the naive installer will always overwrite dateutil and pytz. I suppose a script could be written that will only install them if not present, or if newer or...something. I'm not likely to bother. Perhaps this is a case for installing matplotlib using easy_install instead. However, compiling matplotlib takes a very long time on some machines (such as my G4 laptop). -- Russell _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
