[Matplotlib-users] Eggs and toolkits

[Tom L. <lo...@as...>]

Hi folks,

I recently installed setuptools, and now whenever I build mpl
(I'm using 0.86), it gets installed in site-packages as an egg.
Fine, as far as use within python is concerned it works just
as before.  But I just tried to install basemap, and the
installer puts it in site-packages in a new matplotlib directory
(i.e., not in the matplotlib...egg directory).  If I try
to use it, I get an import error because it's not found 
in the egg (which must the first place Python finds mpl).

How can I properly install an mpl toolkit in the egg scenario;
or if there is no easy way, how can I "turn off" eggs so when
I build mpl it makes a normal install.  Just deleting the
build directory (and the egg from site-packages) and rebuilding
from scratch didn't do it.

Thanks,
Tom
