Thank you for trying to update Gnuplot.py, but as I mentioned in a mail
to you before you sent this email to the mailing list, there seem to be
problems with your changes.

First of all, your changes do not appear to be based off of a recent SVN
version of Gnuplot.py.  It appears that you have duplicated many changes
that John Parejko already made in SVN, and left out other changes that I
have made in SVN.

If you have made other changes besides the switch from Numeric to numpy,
then please apply those changes to the most recent trunk version of
Gnuplot.py from Subversion and send *those* changes to the mailing list,
including a message giving a brief description of your changes and
telling us exactly what Subversion revision of Gnuplot.py the changes
apply to.

Additionally, the fact that you called your version "Gnuplot.py 1.8" has
already caused confusion on the mailing list.  Version numbers should be
defined by the project admins to reduce the likelihood of confusion.

That being said, of course a release of Gnuplot.py is long overdue.
John, are you up to making an "official" 1.8?

Yours,
Michael

Mailing lists are for questions, don't worry.

Nothing should fail in the tests, if they do, something is wrong.
Personally I'm running from the SVN version, are you? I did not fully 
understand
this release mail as nothing is on sourceforge.
Anyway, checkout from SVN: http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=17434 
and follow
install instructions. Then run the test.py

Hello,

I recently obtained Gnuplot.py and it appears to be importable.  However,
when I ran the test.py script, I got
the following error message (I believe from gnuplot):

"
gnuplot> set terminal postscript eps enhanced
gnuplot> set output "gp_test.ps"
gnuplot> plot cos(0.5*x*x) title "cos(0.5*x^2)" with linespoints 2 2
gnuplot> set terminal x11
gnuplot> set output
Testing hardcopy options: mode="default"
Press return to show results...

gnuplot> set terminal postscript default enhanced
gnuplot> set output "gp_test.ps"
gnuplot> plot cos(0.5*x*x) title "cos(0.5*x^2)" with linespoints 2 2
gnuplot> set terminal x11
gnuplot> set output
Testing hardcopy options: enhanced=1
Press return to show results...
         line 714: undefined variable: default
"

Otherwise the tests seemed to work fine (although some did not produce the
visual changes I expected,
I do not know enough about gnuplot to know if there are any issues).  The
command in test.py that results
in the error appears to be line 223.

I would just like to make sure this is not a major issue that would indicate
that gnuplot.py is not functioning correctly
on my machine.

Sorry for the two mailing list posts.  I don't anticipate having to be any
more of a bother.

Hello,

I looked at the mailing lists posts and they seemed to indicate that the
"newest" svn copy of gnuplot-py uses numpy.  As I've not used SVN before, I
just wanted to confirm that the "newest" version consists of all files under
/trunk.  In addition, you may want to update the sourceforge page to reflect
that there still is occasional development, as I think it says the last
version was released in 2003.  The gnuplot-py seems like the right tool for
me, so I hope I can make it work without problems.

Thank you for your time,

Trevor Law

Trying the new version of gnuplot 4.2 on win XP, I've updated gnuplot-pypackage to 1.8.
It was tested on win xp, python 2.5 and  numpy 1.0.3.
