[Matplotlib-users] Running matplotlib job with cron

2009-06-25 Thread Paul Simon
I've written my first python script with matplotlib, which works fine at the command line but not with cron. It's quite puzzling to me, and probably involves some path declaration that I don't know about. #plot data from automate.csv import matplotlib import datetime import numpy from matplotli

Hi Sandro, There is no image output when the script is run from cron. I think that is what you are asking. I thought about updating matplotlib but at this point don't want to change versions unless all else fails. I"m running Mandriva 2008.1 and it's a lot of work. Is there a more detailed w
