The news: - The Mac binary installer for python.org Python 2.6 works on my Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 machines (both Intel). However, it segfaults on my 10.6 machine if there is no existing ~/.matplotlib and ~/.fontconfig. If others could test this it would be most helpful. I have not yet tried it on 10.3.9. To reiterate: a proper test is: - delete ~/.matplotlib if it exists - delete ~/.fontconfig if it exists - run python and try to import pylab or matplotlib -- Russell On Jan 2, 2011, at 9:52 AM, John Hunter wrote: > We are long overdue on getting a bugfix release of 1.0.0 out, so I > have uploaded an rc for testing at > > https://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/files/matplotlib/matplotlib-1.0.1/ > > Christoph and Russell -- if you have time could you build win32 and > OSX binaries for testing as well.
