| I can't import matplotlib.axes3d using a 0.98pre SVN build. Here's my output:
|
| In [3]: from matplotlib import axes3d
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| ImportError Traceback (most recent call last)
|
| /Users/Josh/<ipython console> in <module>()
|
| /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/axes3d.py
| in <module>()
| 14 from axes import Axes
| 15 import cbook
| ---> 16 from transforms import unit_bbox
| 17
| 18 import numpy as npy
|
| ImportError: cannot import name unit_bbox
That sounds like something to report to the matplotlib list. I just
checked on the latest released version of matplotlib (0.91.2), and it
still works on that version.
