I just updated numpy to the latest version: 0.9.5, from the Windows 
binary installer.  I have MPL 0.86.2, also binary installer.

import pylab crashes python
import matplotlib is ok
backing up to numpy 0.9.4 works ok.
does this issue belong to a numpy list?


How exactly does one run a script with --verbose-helpful ?  This does 
not seem to be a valid python switch.

Here are the last lines prior to crash of
python -v test.py
where test.py contains one line:  import pylab

c:\python24\lib\site-packages\matplotl
ib\axes.pyc
