mimicing pg 398 of practical python
I am trying to duplicate the sunspots graph on page 398 of Practical Python. I don''t have those reportlab modules so i downloaded them from their website and tried to put them somewhere ( not clear where i should put them ) and then i added that place to my sys.path by doig sys.path.append inside the same program. but, i still got the error that it doesn't know about thsis module ? does anyone have really good directions on how to download the reportlab stuff so that it works. the book, practical python is amazing but this part is a little unclear. thanks a lot. or maybe thre is an easier graphics package to use that is already inside python. i'm a beginner. thanks. mark -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

newbie trying understand sys.path
I was trying to understand the concept of python looking for modules in sys.path. So, as it said in "Beginning Python", I went into my .bashrc file and did export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:~/mytemp then, i typed pprint.pprint(sys.path) and it worked. it was in there but, now I want to take it out. i deleted the command from the .bashrc file and resourced it but it was still in there. So, then I tried ( inside a python program ) sys.path = sys.path[1:] and it works inside the program so that sys.path changed while the program was running. but, then i checked it again, by taking out the above command and typing pprint.pprint(sys.path) and it was still there ? Basically, my question is : Is there a permanent way of taking things out of sys.path that you put in sort of by accident or for experimentation ?

newbie : econometrics in python
i've used python in the past but only for data processing, writing to files, midifying files, reading from files. now, my boss wants me to do some econometrics using python. would anyone who has done this ( var, vecm, cointegration, ols, kalman filter whatever ) mind sending me some sample code that i could use as a template. i've spent 2 days, going through numpy, scipy, pytrix etc and i still can't figure it out. thanks. mark -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
