Ah.. I misread. I read http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/installing.html, the section which describes what "enthought python" contains, and thought it meant "this is relevant to matplot lib". >> but on >> the download page I see that there are versions for Python 2.2.x and >> 2.3.x.

Scipy has many extension modules; such modules built for 2.3.x > won't work for 2.4.x, etc. So, for future reference: I should *never* mix x and y versions in verion: x.y.z. I've wondered why there are versions of libraries for different versions of Python.. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
