Oh, there's one strange thing.  The directory that Gnuplot.py created
was C:\python22\lib\site-packages\Gnuplot-1.5, when normally it should
be something like C:\python22\lib\site-packages\Gnuplot.  Can you
check if you have that directory too, and if not rename the directory
you have with that name?

Also try starting python then typing

>>> import sys
>>> print sys.path

and check whether the directory *containing* the Gnuplot directory (in
your case probably C:\python22\lib\site-packages) is included in the
path.

Two things: may be you have two versions of python installed ?
You may need to run python2 explicitly

Also: what exactly did you type to install Gnuplot ?

Mike,
This is the error I am getting when importing Gnuplot.py

>>>import Gnuplot
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named Gnuplot

I hope this helps with the problem.
Marc

Hi,

I can only guess because I don't know how your system is set up and
you still haven't described what isn't working, what error messages
you get, etc.

It sounds like Gnuplot.py installed itself in an appropriate directory
for you, so you shouldn't have to do anything with your PYTHONPATH or
run things from a specific directory.

Try running python from the command line and type "import Gnuplot".
If this works, then Gnuplot.py is installed correctly.

Then type "g =3D Gnuplot.Gnuplot()".  If this works, then gnuplot (the
plotting program) is also installed correctly.

If those two things work, then the demo should also work.

If something doesn't work, please tell us what error message you got!
Otherwise it is almost impossible to help you.

By the way, I forwarded your email to the new gnuplot-py-users mailing
list.  It would be good if users would subscribe to the list and use
it for discussions.

Yours,
Michael
