Re: [matplotlib-devel] TypeError: sort() takes no keyword arguments

[Michael D. <md...@st...>]

Sorry -- I accidentally used a feature only available in Python 2.4 and

I have added a fix in SVN r4402.  Since I don't have a Python2.3 to test 
with, can you please let me know if that fixes your problem?

Cheers,
Mike
