Re: [Matplotlib-users] matplotlib-py3 branch won't show in Ubuntu 10.04

[Jorge G. <jga...@fi...>]

In case it helps,

I also tried the simple plot test recommended in the matplotlib FAQ:

Here's the traceback it gave me.

$HOME=/home/cadsoft
CONFIGDIR=/home/cadsoft/.matplotlib
matplotlib data path
/usr/local/lib/python3.1/dist-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data
loaded rc file
/usr/local/lib/python3.1/dist-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc
matplotlib version 1.1.0
verbose.level helpful
interactive is False
platform is linux2
Using fontManager instance from
/home/cadsoft/.matplotlib/fontList.py3k.cache
backend agg version v2.2

Thanks for all of your help.
