Re: [Matplotlib-users] Mac backend problems for nearly all backends.

[Vincent D. <vi...@vi...>]

I am using the EPD and have have an issue with saving( I cant type in a name
for the file) Are you using the 64bit? I don't think wx runs in 64 bit and
so something else is used in the EPD 64 distro. Not really clear on this and
has been awhile since I looked at it.
