Thread: RE: [Matplotlib-users] backend_agg attribute error

Here is what I did:

I firstly downloaded the example "quadmesh_demo.py".

Then I reinstalled the latest mpl (0.86.2).  When I tried to run the
example I got the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    import gobject
ImportError: No module named gobject

I then went on and changed the backend in matplotlibrc from GTKAgg to
WXAgg.  Running the example resulted in the following error message:

This problem I have encountered this morning.  Through a quick search I
came upon advice by Travis Oliphant to obtain mpl out of CVS.  I only
substituted my installed lines.py with the lines.py obtained from CVS
and here is the results after running the example again:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\My
Leerkabinet\Installs\Python\Sandbox\Matplotlib\matplotlib\examples\quadm
esh_demo.py", line 16, in ?
    ax.pcolormesh(Qx,Qz,Z)
AttributeError: Subplot instance has no attribute 'pcolormesh'

It seems that we got passed ax =3D fig.add_subplot(111) in the example,
but I am not sure whether the problem is solved.

I hope the info is helpful.

This was added to the agg (which affects wxagg) backend between 0.86.1
and 0.86.2.  This error is probably not coming from wxmpl/boa.  See if
you can run the examples/quadmesh_demo.py which uses this new
functionality, after reinstalling the latest mpl.

I just started Boa after performing the actions explained in my previous
email.  The application executed without any problems.  I can see my
plots using wxmpl again.

Thanks for helping.  I do suggest though that someone should check the
errors that I explained in the previous e-mail and also, why I
encountered the original error when I substituted my entire mpl with the
files from CVS.

If boa was still running after reinstalling matplotlib, it may be that
the python code was reloaded and the extension code was not.  If
restarting boa fixed your problems, I suspect it's a non-issue.
Thanks for the report.

I can't reproduce unfortunately.  This is an attribute for subplot
with my version.  Try print matplotlib.__version__ to ensure you are
not picking up on older files somehow.  Or try printing
matplotlib.axes.__file__ as well.
