Thread: [Matplotlib-users] Python 2.6 installer for Windows?

Hello all,

I find that Matplotlib only have Python 2.5 build for Windows. Is there  
any plan to release a 2.6 build soon? I am trying to build it from source  
but I run into numerous problem. I am still struggling to find all  
dependent packages. It will help a lot if the 2.6 installer is available.

Thanks,

Wai Yip

AFAIK matplolib doesn't support python-2.6 yet, as NumPy doesn't.
NumPy is expected to get python-2.6 support in the 1.3 release, so I
imagine matplotlib will support python-2.6 in a release following the
NumPy-1.3 release.

NumPy 1.3 has been released, with pre-built win32 binaries for Python 2.6
(http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1369&package_id=175103).

Does this affect the plans to build matplotlib for py2.6 on win32 as well?
Is there a roadmap?

Thanks in advance

I have built matplotlib (and numpy since it is required for
matplotlib) with python2.6.  Please note that these are UNSUPPORTED
and you use them at your own risk.  They were built from the 9
February 2009 SVN so use at your own risk.  You will have to install
numpy first and matplotlib second.  I would also recommend installing
WxPython before installing matplotlib since there are some bugs using
Tkinter with matplotlib on python2.6.  I've been too busy to try and
track it down.
