Re: [Matplotlib-users] Permission error after installing MPL 1.0 on Mac

[Peter H. <ph...@bw...>]

OK, I spoke a little too soon last time.  I reinstalled it tonight and looked a little closer.  Essentially all of the regular files under
.../site-packages/matplotlib/... and its subdirectories have permissions similar to
-rw--w----
not just the mpl-data subdir, and I guess they should be something like
-rw-r--r--

Also, I looked into why I couldn't chmod; apparently our "labadmin" account wasn't given permission to chmod or chown anybody else's files, so I need to talk to our IT guy about that.
