I just updated mpl from svn and now get y:126: UserWarning: Update your wxversion.py to one including AlreadyImportedError "Update your wxversion.py to one including AlreadyImportedError") backend WXAgg version 2.8.3.0 If I can speak for the typical user, these kinds of warnings are usually annoying and not that helpful. I am a naive wx user -- I installed it many moons ago from a binary when I installed python and haven't thought about it since. I don't know what wxversion is or how to upgrade it. All I know is mpl was working fine, still works fine, and now generates an annoying warning. So I am not sure this is progress, but may help someone who has a complicated wx setup avoid difficult to trackdown bug. So I would prefer to silence this, but am not sure what the right solution is.
