Re: [Matplotlib-users] Can't use WXAgg

[Barry D. <bl...@ad...>]

Update to my previous post:

When I use the command line to use WXAgg, I receive
the following traceback:
>>> import matplotlib
>>> matplotlib.use("WXAgg")
>>> from matplotlib.matlab import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File
"C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\matlab.py",
line 144, in ?
    from backends import new_figure_manager,
error_msg, \
  File

    from backend_wxagg import \

line 20, in ?
    from backend_wx import FigureManager

"C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\backend_wx.py",
line 116, in ?
    wxapp = wxPySimpleApp()
NameError: name 'wxPySimpleApp' is not defined

This means that it gets past the try-except in
backend_wx.py, but can't find wxPySimpleApp.

In the previous post, when runing the code from a
file, the exception was caught and 
a sysexit() occurred.

I don't understand why in one case the exception is
caught and not in the other.
In either case, I'm still unable to use the wx
backend.

Thanks.

&gt; This doesn't seem to be a problem specific to
&gt; matplotlib.  But, I'm wondering if anyone has

something.
