matplotlib-devel Mailing List for matplotlib

Hello,
for the Debian package, we install sample_data directory in a custom
location, /usr/share/matplotlib/sample_data/ .
Pre-1.2.0 we could specify the examples.directory rcParam, but now
that parameter has been removed.
If we want to keep shipping sample_data in /usr/share/matplotlib/ , it
seems the only solution is to patch cbook.get_sample_data() to set
root = '/usr/share/matplotlib/'
Is that correct or is there another solution i'm not seeing?
Regards,

Was waiting for your OK on this Russell. Glad to know they're building
fine. Good work.

IIRC matplotlib is currently third in the list of libraries most wanted 
by users waiting for Python3 compatibility. I'd guess that many 
scientific users are aware of this wonderful milestone, but to spread 
the news at a minimum I'd put this on the main Python mailing list and 
on Python announce. Or does that happen anyway, and I'd simply 
forgotten about it?

Hello,
I noticed that a program I had that uses canvas.blit() to do animated graphs 
with the gtkagg backend was leaking memory.
I tracked this down to gtk gc's being allocated in agg_to_gtk_drawable with 
gdk_gc_new(), but never being destroyed.
The leak can be seen using the 'Animating selected plot elements' example 
from:
http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Animations
(if it is modified to run forever, rather than just 50 plots and also 
changing numerix to numpy). After a few minutes, it is clear from ps that the 
memory usage is slowly but steadily climbing.
Patch below (against matplotlib-1.1.1.) fixes it.
