Re: [matplotlib-devel] python 3 fork?

[Tom L. <tom...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I've gotten it somewhat working.  For some reason the build process isn't pointing 2to3 at the files in lib/matplotlib.  But it's definitely running 2to3 on something..

Like the linked solution, I changed setupext.py to look for the dependencies in /usr/local.  I also made a new makefile and setupeggs which are changed in obvious ways.  The changes are on my github (tmlippman).

Rather than copy folders manually, I ran make twice:

	sudo make -f make.py3.osx PREFIX=/usr/local fetch deps

	sudo make -f make.py3.osx PREFIX=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.2 mpl_build mpl_install_develop

(outputs attached)

Everything appeared to compile fine, but when I tried to import matplotlib, I got errors like:  ImportError: No module named cPickle.

After running 2to3 on the lib/matplotlib directory (in my source location) everything works.
