[Matplotlib-users] Issue with mplot3d

[Guillaume G. <gui...@mi...>]

Hi all,

The following code fails on my box (python3.3, linux Mint 15, latest 
matplotlib code from github):

```python
import matplotlib as mpl
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

mpl.rcParams['legend.fontsize'] = 10

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.gca(projection='3d')
theta = np.linspace(-4 * np.pi, 4 * np.pi, 100)
z = np.linspace(-2, 2, 100)
r = z**2 + 1
x = r * np.sin(theta)
y = r * np.cos(theta)
ax.plot(x, y, z, label='parametric curve')
ax.legend()

plt.show()
```python


Here is the tail of the traceback:

```python

/home/guillaume/python3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/matplotlib-1.4.x-py3.3-linux-x86_64.egg/matplotlib/axes/_base.py  incla(self)

     896

     898          props = font_manager.FontProperties(size=rcParams['axes.titlesize'],
     899                                          weight=rcParams['axes.titleweight'])

/home/guillaume/python3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/mpl_toolkits/mplot3d/axes3d.py  ingrid(self, b, **kwargs)
    1254          if  len(kwargs)  :
    1255              b=  True
-> 1256          self._draw_grid=  maxes._string_to_bool(b)
    1257  
    1258      def  ticklabel_format(self,  **kwargs)  :

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '_string_to_bool'

```

Is there a work around? Shall I rise an issue on github?

Cheers,

Guillaume
