Re: [Matplotlib-users] Installation Problems on Mac OS X

Okay, I tried the .zip installer and get the following error when trying 
to import:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "", line 1, in 
   File 
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pylab.py",
 
line 1, in 
 from matplotlib.pylab import *
   File 
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/pylab.py",
 
line 220, in 
 new_figure_manager, draw_if_interactive, show = pylab_setup()
   File 
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/__init__.py",
 
line 23, in pylab_setup
 globals(),locals(),[backend_name])
   File 
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_wxagg.py",
 
line 19, in 
 import wx
ImportError: No module named wx

Seems to me that I need to either change some setting on the backend 
that is being used, or I need some additional package to make the 
install work.  Can some one point me in the right direction here?

Oh, and I tried downloading the .egg file to install, but for some 
reason my Mac wants to open the file with Excel, which is obviously 
wrong.  How exactly do you use a .egg file as a binary installer?

Install easy_install:

http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall

then type:

easy_install whatever.egg

on the command line.
