Re: [Matplotlib-users] Unknown projection '3d' even with svn version?
yes, it looks like this is the right file (when I look at matplotlib.__file__) Now tracing which routines are run when doing this, it looks like it looks for projection in projections/__init__.py after going through line 675 of figure.py It looks like add_subplot of plt.figure() is not compatible in my matplotlib. Eric Strange indeed. Ok, what does matplotlib.__file__ say? Does the filename match the path you are expecting? At this point, I would also try putting print statements in the register code at the end of axes3d.py to see if that code path gets executed (can't see why not).

Eric No, that code path is correct. The problem has to be that the registration is not occurring correctly. I would double-check that the filepath for matplotlib.__file__ and mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.__file__ matches. I am still convinced that we have an installation issue. My bet is that -- somehow -- mplot3d is being loaded from one version, while matplotlib is being loaded from another version. Another thing that might be complicating things is the use of ipython -pylab. If you aren't using pylab, then there really isn't much need to call that. Did you fully un-install matplotlib before building matplotlib from svn? If not, you might need to do a complete clean (package-wise and build-wise) before trying again. I notice that you are using OpenSUSE. We have been having a number of reports of problems from OpenSUSE users in the past month. Almost all of them appear to be packaging issues and not problems with matplotlib itself. I don't know if this is the case here, but who knows? I find this error to be fairly odd given how simple and fundamental the algorithm is. It is essentially a python dictionary containing name/class pairs. Kinda hard to break that. If you can verify that the Axes3D object is registering itself, and then the projection can't be found later, then there remains only two possibilities. First, that the dictionary being checked is different from the dictionary used to register the Axes3D class. Second, that the Axes3D entry got removed after being inserted. Considering that I am unaware of any code that deregisters a projection, I am inclined to believe that somehow we have different dictionary objects being accessed. This is the basis for my theory that the matplotlib installation is wonky because the matplotlib.pyplot that you import from your script might -- somehow -- be different from the matplotlib that is imported from mplot3d. Again, it makes little sense, but that is what is going through my mind right now. Anybody else have any thoughts? Ben Root -- Beautiful is writing same markup.

So this is a problem with ipython -pylab call... Any thought of why this is? Possibly ipython is somehow configured to pull pylab from a different location, thereby loading a different matplotlib (and under a different name) from what mplot3d loads. Remember, python loads modules only once during an execution, regardless of the number of times an import statement appears. With ipython -pylab, it implicitly does these loads for you (except for mplot3d because it is a separate toolkit). If ipython was explicitly configured to look elsewhere for pylab, and then you come along and tell it to import mplot3d using the normal python search path, it *might* be possible that different matplotlibs got loaded. Again, though, this is complete and utter speculation, and has little basis in fact nor evidence. I provide more info below thanks for any help there. Eric P.S.: Here is the output of my setup: In [1]: matplotlib.__file__ Out[1]: '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.pyc' In [6]: mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.__file__ Out[6]: '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/mpl_toolkits/mplot3d/__init__.pyc' Clarity is important here. Was this the same regardless of using '-pylab'? Also, if you run ipython -pylab, what is the value of pylab.__file__ and how does it compare to matplotlib.__file__ and mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.__file__? A funny one is that I have to import mpl_toolkits first and then mplot3d, and when I do this I get: In [5]: from mpl_toolkits import mplot3d try this I am not sure the try this is meant to be there It isn't, but I can not find it anywhere in the source files. I have checked the source code for matplotlib from the OpenSUSE repos and from our svn repos. It does not exist. That line must be coming from another package or you may have forgotten you added it (this has happened to me before).

[Matplotlib-users] Unknown projection '3d' even with svn version?
Hi, I have just installed the svn version of matplotlib and basemap + numpy from the svn repository of http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ocefpaf/openSUSE_11.3/x86_64/ When I do: === ipython -pylab (matplotlib 1.0.0, backend GTKAgg version 2.17.0, openSuse 11.3 x86_64) import numpy as np from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D import matplotlib.pyplot as plt fig = plt.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d') I get a ValueError: Unknown projection '3d' I did the upgrade to the svn version because the previous one (which was already 1.0) gave me the same message... what's wrong here? (looked at the web and couldn't find out a good solution, beyond the upgrade I did) thanks in advance Eric -- Beautiful is writing same markup.
