Arch Linux

Description:
Tried to install "python-matplotlib" from community. When trying to use it it looks like it requires python 2.5 (see output).

Additional info:
* package versions:
python-matplotlib 0.98.3-2
python 2.6-2

* config and/or log files etc.
using following test file::
###########
from pylab import plot, show, ylim, yticks
from matplotlib.numerix import sin, cos, exp, pi, arange

t = arange(0.0, 2.0, 0.01)
s1 = sin(2*pi*t)
s2 = exp(-t)
s3 = sin(2*pi*t)*exp(-t)
s4 = sin(2*pi*t)*cos(4*pi*t)

t = arange(0.0, 2.0, 0.01)
plot(t, s1, t, s2+1, t, s3+2, t, s4+3, color='k')
ylim(-1,4)
yticks(arange(4), ['S1', 'S2', 'S3', 'S4'])

show()
###########


Out put:

Steps to reproduce:

Make a file called test.py with the above described contents,
open a terminal and type: "python test.py"
The above output is produced.

(My guess matplotlib requires libpython2.5 wich is in python2.5???)
