[Numpy-discussion] ImportError: No module named ma
Howdy, I'm trying to run some scripts associated with a paper I was reading. They use the matplotlib to generate figures which in turn calles numpy. I'm new to python, but I'm very familiar with perl. I'm getting the following error, and I'm not quite sure what is causing it. Can anyone here offer any suggestions?

If that's not what you get, you may need to edit your .bash_profile file to add it to your PATH. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/ORR(206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion

Along with the above mentioned stuff, I also had a bit of trouble installing the MPL egg which seems to be mac specific. This was also pretty useful in fixing that: http://www.nabble.com/OS-X-(Intel-Mac)-installation-woes-td19011120.html The important part being: That said, the build on the matplotlib website is self-sufficient save for numpy, use the -N flag to easy_install (and don't forget to run it with sudo). This should take care of things. -- John M Harrold ___ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
