False was introduced in a recent version of Python (2.2 maybe). You must 
be running an older python. just run:
python
and you'll see what version it is in the startup message.
If you have multiple versions installed, try:
python2.3 setup.py build
If not, get and install 2.3, and then try again. What system is this?
if you're not sure, try:
locate "*/bin/*python*"
If your locate db is up to date, you should get a few options.
What OS/distro/version are you running?

Matplotlib 0.63.4 requires python 2.3. It sounds like you have 
an earlier version of python that doesn't recognize False (I 
think this was introduced for python2.2, but I'm not certain).

You need python2.3. You could either convince the admin to 
install this or install a private copy of python2.3 in your 
own directory.

Hello,
I've installed the latest matplotlib (27 september) and when I try to do :
from matplotlib.matlab import *
I get this :
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
 File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/matplotlib/matlab.py", line 160, 
in ?
 from axes import Axes
 File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/matplotlib/axes.py", line 9, in ?
 from artist import Artist
 File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/matplotlib/artist.py", line 4, in 
?
 from transforms import identity_transform
 File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/matplotlib/transforms.py", line 
182, in ?
 from _transforms import IDENTITY, LOG10, Func, FuncXY, PolarXY
ImportError: cannot import name IDENTITY

I have an application that uses matplotlib running on windows xp.
The wxpython scripts run OK, and the scripts compile to an exe OK.
There are lots of "missing Modules" but the FAQ says to ignore these.
On running the exe I get the message :
"This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an =
unusual way".
Can anyone help please ?
Regards
Gary

Today I tried to install matplotlib, first downloading 
matplotlib-0.63.4.tar.gz, then "gunzip matplotlib-0.63.4.tar.gz", then "tar
-vxf matplotlib-0.63.4.tar", then I don't know what to do.
I tried "python setup.py build", but got the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "setup.py", line 39, in ?
 VERBOSE = False # insert lots of diagnostic prints in extension code
NameError: name 'False' is not defined
I also tried "setup.py", and "make -f Makefile" but without any success.
Which command I should use to install matploylib?
This is a shared linux web server, I am not root, I want to install matplotlib
under my login directory, and be able to draw stock charts with OHLC (Open High
Low Close) as well as volume on a second x-axis.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. I think we can also now expect new=
 graphs in cvs examples of weight versus time, hours slept per night etc.
Congratulations from me too John,
