#19006 closed enhancement (fixed)

Add Qt4Agg backend to py25-matplotlib and py-matplotlib

Reported by: mf2k (Frank Schima) Owned by: skymoo (Adam Mercer)

Description

Please add the Qt4Agg backend to py25-matplotlib and py-matplotlib. FYI, having py25-pyqt4 installed seems to allow it to just work for me with python25.

I've been wanting to add the Qt4Agg backend but I always run into #16068 when trying to install py25-pyqt4, so until thats fixed I can't see how I can add it.

I agree that issue needs to be fixed asap. But pyqt4 still works even though it hits the error during the activate. I am able to use pyqt4 at work like this. The problem is that the registry does not recognize that any of the files got installed so it cannot be uninstalled. Try this before and then after the install of py25-pyqt4 in ipython2.5:

import PyQt4.QtCore

Just tried install py25-pyqt4 and as expected it fails on activation. Trying to import the module you mentions fails both before:

In [1]: import PyTQ4.QtCore
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

/Users/ram/<ipython console> in <module>()

ImportError: No module named PyTQ4.QtCore

and:

$

after:

In [2]: import PyTQ4.QtCore

ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

So I cannot test the Qt backend, therefore I cannot add it. #16068 needs to be fixed first.

I found a workaround for the activation problem (see patch in #16068), so I added the qt4 variant in r48823
