RE : RE : [matplotlib-devel] RE : [Matplotlib-users] crash on matplotlib.matlab import on win32

[Gregory L. <gre...@ff...>]

When you uninstalled and reinstalled python, did you remove all traces
of the old python dir after running the uninstaller?

Yes, I removed the directory Python23 and could not see any trace of
python anymore...Does it means there really is no more trace of python?
Well, it's windows, so...;-)

It's strikes me as very odd that the same python + numarray + matplotlib
+ operating system would generate different reference counting behavior.
Can anyone think of a possible explanation for this?  

Not me, could be c++ object destruction called in different order, but
how is it possible using the same executables on the same OS???

Another thing to test - try the numeric and numarray builds of
matplotlib.
Same problem?

Bingo, this makes a difference : using Numeric, it works (no crash, can
create a plot with TkAgg), but removing the Numeric matplotlib (keeping
Numeric installed), and reinstalling Numarray one re-introduce the same
crash...Hope this help, looks like it is numarray related anyway!

OK, when I get one ready I'll post a link.

Thanks, we have already standardised on Numarray (seems it will be far
more active and supported than Numeric in the future), so using Numeric
can only be a temporary measure for me...

Best regards,


Greg.
