Re: [Matplotlib-users] matplotlib-0.54 Win98 crash

[Gary R. <ga...@em...>]

Hi John,
I've now retraced my steps and discovered that GTKAgg exhibits the crashing problem but TkAgg seems to exhibit a different but maybe related problem.

I uninstalled 0.53.1 again and confirmed that the old \site-packages\matplotlib directory was removed.
I'm trying the matplotlib-0.54.win32-py2.3.exe version with Numeric and the only .matplotlibrc setting changed being
backend      : GTKAgg

>>> import matplotlib
returns without complaint but
>>> import matplotlib.matlab
generates a pythonw illegal operation dialog with "PYTHONW caused an invalid page fault" etc. and causes IDLE generates a
"================================ RESTART ================================"
line.


If I use 
backend      : TkAgg

instead

>>> import matplotlib.matlab
now returns without complaint

However, there are problems. For example, I tried running a previously working plot script from SciTE and it now generates an abnormal program termination MSVC++ Runtime library error from pythonw.exe prior to a page fault.
This time, python generates something:
Fatal Python error: PyEval_RestoreThread: NULL tstate
>Process failed to respond; forcing abrupt termination...

let me know if there's anything else you want me to try
regards,
Gary
