[Matplotlib-users] Error with get_home()?

[Alexander B. <ale...@gm...>]

Hi list

I develop an application which used matplotlib and there is a problem on some
computers. When home directory is simple e.g.

C:/Documents and Settings/alex/.qgis/

all works, but when home directory path contains a dot, for example

C:/Documents and Settings/compase.UWW/.qgis/

I've get an error:

Couldn't load plugin statist due an error when calling its classFactory() method

Traceback (most recent call last):

Is this a bug?
