[Matplotlib-users] problem with modules

[Davide C. <da...@fi...>]

Hi there,

Very basic questions.
I have installed matplotlib by Synaptic on Ubuntu and I'm trying to get the
examples work (without much success!).

1. To begin with, I've copied the lines:

deb http://anakonda.altervista.org/debian packages/
deb-src http://anakonda.altervista.org/debian sources/

into /etc/apt/sources.list, but when I try to update I get errors like this:

Failed to fetch http://anakonda.altervista.org/debian/packages/Packages.gz
302 Moved Temporarily [IP: 193.1.172.188 8484]


2. When I try to run some examples I have downloaded from the website, the
program complains about modules. For example, if I try
python hline_demo.py

I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "hline_demo.py", line 2, in <module>
    from matplotlib.pyplot import *
ImportError: No module named pyplot


Can anybody help here?

Cheers,
Davide

I'm sure matplotlib is in Ubuntu's official repos by now [1]. Same for Debian.

Ubuntu's latest version is 0.90.1. According to [2], the pyplot
module was introduced with 0.91.2.

[1] http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=matplotlib&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all
[2] http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/whats_new.html

Right -- but the examples from 0.90.1 should still work for you if you 
want to use the 0.90.1 packages in the Ubuntu or Debian repositories. 
You can download the (older) examples as part of the source distribution 
from here:
