Re: [Matplotlib-users] problems with latest Matplotlib 1.0, pyQt4 and py2exe

[Stef M. <ste...@gm...>]

After searching for the path in all files in the distro,
I found the problem:
   font caching of Matplotlib
After removing C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.matplotlib
everything works ok.

So the remaining question is,
is there an elegant way, either in py2exe or in matplotlib,
to get arounf this caching problem ?

thanks,
Stef Mientki

Then I decided to try a much earlier version of matplotlib, and I run into different set of problems. Finally, I tried matplotlib 0.99.1 and the problems went away (I didn't try version 0.99.3 because its release date was too close to the version 1.0).
