Re: [Matplotlib-users] report a problem on importing pylab OR pyplot error

Right now, I am not sure whether I am a member of the matplotlib-user maillist. Since I don't receive any indication about the successful application as other maillists did. But after googling, I find the reply from Michael Droettboom. I really appreciate your kind help. Based on your hints and suggestions, the command "ipython -pylab --verbose-debug" produces the following outputs (sorry for this large bunch block and I will explicitly give you the requried value of "fpath" on line 578 of font_manager.py ) : ===============================================================================================================================================
