Recently, I have been trying to test Python as an alternative to
Matlab. I have problems getting matplotlib to work on Windows
(ActivePython 2.4.2). After installing the precompiled binary packages
for NumPy 0.9.5 and Matplotlib 0.87.1, I get this error message:
[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> import pylab as p[/color][/color][/color]
