I wrote the tutorial in this thread as a step by step guide that can be followed manually. You do not need to put it anywhere on your hard drive. Start pyspread and type in the lines starting with "> " manually. > When I try it (a) I can't open your test > data and (b)I enter 1 in [0,0], 'abc' in > [0,1], 'def' in [0,2] and 'ghi' in [1.2]. I assume that you tried to open the "test.pys" file. This file is not needed for the tutorial. Type in as you did into the empty grid and it should work. (Please tell me if it does not display 1 in [0,0], abc in [0,1], def in [0,2] and ghi in [1,2].) > The first gives an unable to find rpy > message and the second doesn't display. The "test.pys" file is an example how to use the 3rd party package rpy for convenient plotting. Probably on your system, rpy is not installed. When you install rpy, do not forget to install the statistics package R that it depends on as well. However, you do not have to use rpy for plotting. If you prefer other plotting packages (e.g. gnuplot), feel free to import them as displayed with the decimal built-in package. You can import (almost) everything that you can import in any Python program (though matplotlib made some trouble the last time I tried). (Hint: pyspread does *not* protect your system in any special way. So if you write a system command to delete all files and have sufficient rights to do this, the files will be deleted.) Please let me know, which OS you are using (Unix/Linux, MacOS, Windows or something else). Best Regards Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
