Re: [Matplotlib-users] Py2.5.4 on Win7

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

Deinstalled 2.5.4 and installed again, same issue.  Deinstalled again 
and installed 2.5.2, both times I also deleted python25 folder.

Running barchart_demo.py directly works (c:\python25\python.exe 
pathto\barchart_demo.py).

Running it from within idle I get the same exception again:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\Dev\aaTests\matplotlib\barchart_demo.py", line 3, in <module>

ImportError: DLL load failed: Le module spécifié est introuvable.

Noticed that msvcp71.dll is being installed by mpl (at least that is 
what I see in matplotlib-wininst.log).

"cd" to the folder of the script and running it again directly with 
Python I see the error again.

What could cause this?  Maybe one of the msvcp71.dll is incompatible 
with stuff already loaded by Python?

Will keep experimenting and see if I can get Boa to work with mpl
