Solution for Windows XP:

I had the same problem. I downloaded the Gnuplot program and it worked,
although Gnuplot.py did not, even after adding the installation path
(e.g.) to the PATH variable.

I put Gnuplot in C:\Program Files\ so the directory is C:\Program
Files\gnuplot\bin

I then went to my Gnuplot folder in the site-packages folder (e.g. C:\
Program Files\Python24\Lib\site-packages\Gnuplot) and edited the
gp_win32.py file.

Instead of

gp_win32.py:

=20

gnuplot_command =3D r' pgnuplot.exe'

=20

Edit it to

gp_win32.py:

=20

gnuplot_command =3D r'"C:\Program Files\gnuplot\bin\pgnuplot.exe"'

=20

and now it should work!

Good luck
