Is it possible you have both installed (eg, on a redhat 9 install the
default pygtk is 1.99.14) and that you are importing the wrong one

Good point. I changed it.

This looks like you imported gtk in your app/script before either
 1) doing the pygtk.require thing
 2) importing matplotlib first
If you do either of these, does everything work fine for you?

Hmm. Current I seem to have to blank y and x axes separately.
ax.set_yticklabels([]) # works fine
ax.set_xticklabels([]) # nope
# but...
ax.set_xticklabels([ '' for x in blah ]) # yep
Given that both call ticklabels, I'm not sure why.

John,
Either sourceforge is behind or the change didn't fix the xticklabels([]).
If you're around, can you email the file with the fix? In the meantime
I'll try to make sure I'm not using a mirror.

I've been receiving the error message
"matplotlib requires pygtk-1.99.16 or greater -- trying anyway. Please
hold on"
which is puzzling since I have pygtk 2.0 installed.
The message is triggered from this code in backend_gtk.py:
try: # todo: test this with default RHL8 install.
 import pygtk
 pygtk.require('2.0')
except:
 print >>sys.stderr, 'matplotlib requires pygtk-1.99.16 or greater --
trying anyway. Please hold on'
The exception catches the error, but does not show you the error message
that pygtk.require('2.0') generates. I think it would be improved by
changing it to:
try: # todo: test this with default RHL8 install.
 import pygtk
 pygtk.require('2.0')
except:
 print sys.exc_info()[1]
 print >>sys.stderr, 'matplotlib requires pygtk-1.99.16 or greater --
trying anyway. Please hold on'
Which in my case, would then tell me:
"pygtk.require() must be called before importing gtk
matplotlib requires pygtk-1.99.16 or greater -- trying anyway. Please
hold on"
Which lets me know what I've done wrong.
