[Matplotlib-users] Importing pylab causes exception

[Jon M. <jon...@ya...>]

Hi,

I'm using the Python(x,y) distribution which comes with matplotlib for
Windows. My OS is Windows XP with all updates and service packs on an
AMD Athlon 2600+ PC with ATI Radeon 9600 graiphics card.

Python will work fine for anything that doesn't import the pylab
component (I can import matplotlib itself no problem as well as numpy
etc) but if I try to import pylab I get:-

"An unhandled exception occured in pythonw.exe [3976]"

I've tied reinstalling Python(x,y) and even reinstalling windows then
Python(x,y) but to no avail. This seems odd to me as 2 other PCs at work
install Python(x,y) and run Pylab fine.

Any suggestions as to what I should check to track down this error?

Thanks

Jon
