[Matplotlib-users] GTK Problem

[Nordquest, D. A <NOR...@ga...>]

I've checked my path several times and all seems to be as it should be.  =
However when I try to use pygtk and the latest gtk runtime and =
matplotlib under Win98, I get the following error:

>>> import pygtk
>>> pygtk.require('2.0')
>>> import gtk
>>> from matplotlib.matlab import *

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in -toplevel-
    from matplotlib.matlab import *
  File "D:\PROGRA~1\PYTHON23\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\matlab.py", =
line 124, in -toplevel-
    from backends import new_figure_manager, error_msg, \
  File =
"D:\PROGRA~1\PYTHON23\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\__init__.py",=
 line 12, in -toplevel-
    from backend_gtk import  \
  File =
"D:\PROGRA~1\PYTHON23\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\backend_gtk.p=
y", line 15, in -toplevel-
    from gtk import gdk
ImportError: cannot import name gdk

I'm probably overlooking something obvious but would be grateful for =
suggestions.

BTW, if I do the pygtk test (  >>>import pygtk >>> pygtk.require('2.0')
  >>> import gtk  ) once, I get an error message.  If I do it again =
without changing anything, I get no error message.
