Re: [Matplotlib-users] problem finding axes_grid1

Here are the outputs from running a basemap test and a test from the matplotlib examples.  Thank you for your help.

TEST FROM MATPLOTLIB EXAMPLES:

~/Downloads/matplotlib-1.1.0/examples/axes_grid$ python simple_axesgrid.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "simple_axesgrid.py", line 2, in <module>
    from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 import ImageGrid
ImportError: No module named axes_grid1

TEST FROM BASEMAP EXAMPLES:

~/Downloads/basemap-1.0.2/examples$ python simpletest.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "simpletest.py", line 1, in <module>
    from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/mpl_toolkits/basemap/__init__.py", line 31, in <module>
    from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 import make_axes_locatable
ImportError: No module named axes_grid1

However, when I run simpletest.py from the basemap package, I get an error "ImportError: No module named axes_grid1".  I thought this was a basemap problem at first, but I can reproduce this error using matplotlib tests.  Am I doing something wrong?  As I understand it, axes_grid1 is a set of helper classes which comes with Matplotlib.  Does it need to be installed?  Thanks!
