On MacOS 10.6, Matplotlib installs without error, but is then not importable:

On Python 2.7, pyparsing doesn't even work:

>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/Users/tom/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/matplotlib-1.3.x-py2.7-macosx-10.6-x86_64.egg/matplotlib/__init__.py", line 113, in <module>

                 ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

but I'll report that to the pyparsing developers.

Regarding the pyparsing bug, the reason it's using 1.5.3 is because 2.0.0 fails to install during the matplotlib install:

Adding pyparsing 1.5.3 to easy-install.pth file

But in any case, that's a separate issue.

Thanks @astrofrog - I'm guessing this is new in the last day or so and this is a result of the change in #1454?

I don't think you're after a workaround, but if you were (or somebody else who finds this is) it is probably possible to change the backend in matplotlibrc and avoid this message.

@pelson - thanks - just to confirm, I also see this on Python 2.

I opened a separate issue for the pyparsing issue (#1792).

Just a note to someone trying to track down this bug -- I would compare the compiler arguments when building the _macosx.so extension prior to commit 7940245 vs. now. Something is probably missing in the new version -- and the setup rework probably did not get enough mac testing. I might be able to get on a Mac later this afternoon...

I can try and provide you with the compiler arguments - let me check.

That's quite a big difference!

It looks like

-framework Cocoa

is now missing - could it be that?

I think that's exactly it. Would you mind testing the attached patch?

This fixes the issue - thanks!

By the way, any luck with getting Matplotlib on Shining Panda? I could set up a build on my local Jenkins Mac and publish to a remote Jenkins to catch this kind of issue early.

We're in the process of setting up the funding for Shining Panda for matplotlib. Stay tuned!
