matplotlib-devel Mailing List for matplotlib

Hi Gerald,
thank you very much! I applied most of your changes to my matplotlib
version 1.0.1
on Windows with Python 2.6. Together with the new package of PySide I
was able to
migrate a whole project of mine from PyQt to PySide with only minimal changes.
The first test are very promissing. Even some bugs with missing icons
in connection
with py2exe are fixed now.
It would be great to have these changes in the next release of matplotlib!
Best regard,
Lars

1.0.3 packages for Windows and Ubuntu/Debian are available to test with.
I'm not sure that the OS X package is ready yet. If you want to get 
testing with it quicker jumping up and down on their mailing list 
normally gets them out faster.
I also added an update to formlayout.py. I've merged in Pierre's latest 
version that validates the floats so an exception isn't thrown when a 
user inputs an invalid number.
Gerald.

The pyside bug affecting matplotlib pyside backend is now fixed
with pyside 1.0.3
I would be nice to have the pyside option in the next matplotlib release...
