RE: [Matplotlib-users] py2exe Problems...

[<and...@ti...>]

Hello NG,

    I found where the incompatibilities between Matplotlib and py2exe res=
ide,
at least on my configuration (Windows XP or 2000, Matplotlib 0.74 or 0.72=
pre,
wxPython 2.5.5.1 or previous). The following line in dates.py:

UTC =3D timezone('UTC')  (line 94)

Breaks the executable with the error "Unknown timezone" or something simi=
lar.

Next, the way the Matplotlib developers are handling docstrings in pylab.=
py
(and others), like:

figimage.__doc__ =3D Figure.figimage.__doc__ + """
Addition kwargs: hold =3D [True|False] overrides default hold state"""

Breaks py2exe with an error like:

"Can not concatenate NoneType with str"

I just commented out these lines because I don't need docstrings in my ex=
ecutable,
but if someone has a better idea, I welcome all suggestions.

Thank you a lot.

Andrea.
