Hi, Im getting the error: <type 'exceptions.RuntimeError'>: Failed to create /$dirstring$/common/.matplotlib; consider setting MPLCONFIGDIR to a writable directory for matplotlib configuration data The problem is I do not have write access to the MatPlotLib module sourse, so I cannot change the MPLCONFIGDIR variable, where ever it is..! So my question is can I set MPLCONFIGDIR to say "/home/user/dirs/" in my script somewhere, so that I know the that directory has read/write access. Thank you for your time.

By default, the configuration file goes in $HOME/.matplotlib, which is usually just fine. Typically $MPLCONFIGDIR is used to override this in special situations, for example when running matplotlib in a web application. -Jeff -- Jeffrey S.

Hi Jeff, Sorry I should have explained more. I am running a web app also I currently working for a very large organisation so the infrastructure is quite different to your average home / signle server setup.

If MPLCONFIGDIR is unset, it should still work, since mpl will look in the web server's home directory. If you want to set MPLCONFIGDIR, it has to be done in the web server environment to have any effect. However, I'm certainly no expert on running mpl in web apps. Have you tried searching the list archives for "MPLCONFIGDIR", or "web app"? -Jeff -- Jeffrey S.

Seems to work fine. This is explained in a FAQ or doc or tutorial somewhere. Warren |
