[Matplotlib-users] Py2.5.4 on Win7

[Werner F. B. <wer...@fr...>]

I am just installing Windows 7 Pro and I am running into a problem with 
matplotlib.

When running e.g. barchart_demo.py I get an error that it can not find 
msvcp71.dll (the dll is in C:\Python25) and I see the following exception.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "barchart_demo.py", line 3, in <module>
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\pyplot.py", line 6, in 
<module>
    from matplotlib.figure import Figure, figaspect
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\figure.py", line 16, in 
<module>
    import artist
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\artist.py", line 5, in 
<module>
    from transforms import Bbox, IdentityTransform, TransformedBbox, 
TransformedPath
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\transforms.py", line 
34, in <module>
    from matplotlib._path import affine_transform
ImportError: DLL load failed: Le module spcifi est introuvable.

Anyone seen this problem before on Win7?

BTW, I can run e.g. Boa (a wxPython based IDE).  I have no problem 
running my application which is wxPython based as long as I don't call 
anything which uses mpl.
