Re: [Matplotlib-users] scipy, matplotlib import errors

2008-09-25 Thread John [H2O]

I wonder if I've misunderstood or made a mistake? I renamed a file:
/usr/lib/python2.5/new.py to /usr/lib/python2.5/new.bak

and everything worked... but now, after logging out and logging back in
again, I'm getting the problem again?

Perhaps that was the standard libraries module? But I cannot find any other
new.py files?

Thanks,
john

 You have a new.py module somewhere which is interfering with the standard 
 library's new module. Find it and rename it.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] scipy, matplotlib import errors

2008-09-25 Thread John [H2O]

I'm revisiting this with a new round of errors. I keep getting this error,
maybe related as before to the 'new' module, but I cannot tell?? Does anyone
know what is going on?

/usr/lib/python2.5/new.py is the standard library's module. Leave it alone. If 
you are still having problems and cannot find another new.py module anywhere, 
edit pkg_resources.py to print out new.__file__ just before where the exception 
occurs.
