[Matplotlib-users] matplotlib installation issue on OS X

[Aaron H. <ah...@ee...>]

Hi all,

Sorry to trouble you with this (likely) trivial issue, but I  
installed matplotlib 0.87.4_r2587 using the .mpkg included with SciPy  
SuperPack for Intel, and I'm unable to import pylab from the iPython  
command line. When I try I get the error message "no module named  
matplotlib.pylab." I checked and the matplotlib sub-directory is  
there under my /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ 
python2.4/site-packages directory. In iPython a help(); modules shows  
pylab but importing doesn't work. I'm new to this framework business  
that seems to be favored by Apple, so I'm not really familiar with  
how Python is setup in OS X. Any tips are much appreciated.

Thanks,
Aaron
