Massimo, maybe to bring this issue to a close for me and others who may be
interested in using matplotlib in the shortest future, since you have
successfully used matplotlib could you post just a few lines of called
addressing challenges:
1. Installation of Matplotlib
On the Mac os x i did sudo pip install matplotlib it seemed to install well
the 1.2.1 version without a problem but import matplotlib is giving an error
2. After successful installation, how is matplot lib used in the web2py
controller modules what is the best practice...one or two lines of code
would surfice.
Kind regards,
