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

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