Re: [Matplotlib-users] Update to Matplotlib and Numpy producing error

[KURT P. <pet...@ms...>]

Unfortunately, I think someone else was on the maillist with a similar 
problem, and perhaps our two mails got confused.
  I have "always been" using 0.99 as far as I know.  It got "nuked" when I 
deleted the old matplotlib.  I wonder why it couldn't find geos the second 
time around?
  Once again, though, I'll let you know how things go.  It's a good idea to 
pull the toolkit out of the matplotlib directory to avoid this very problem. 
  I'll give that a try, by direct copying and changing my code.  Probably a 
lot of example code might need changing as well.
Regards,
Kurt

Hmm.  I wouldn't expect this to work - there were changes in the matplotlib 
API in version 0.98.0 that should break the old version of basemap.

OK.
