I just installed Canopy Express 1.4.1 (64 bit) on a Mac running OS 10.6.8, and encountered the same problem with import of pylab that anakha272 reported in the question Matplotlib import error ft2font I tried the workaround given in the answer to that question, but the downgrade to matplotlib 1.2.1 failed with the following error message in the Canopy terminal window:
% enpkg --no-deps matplotlib 1.2.1
HTTP Error 404: NOT FOUND
(followed by various additional diagonstics which I'll spare you since I believe they all descend from the 404 error).
Is matplotlib 1.2.1
no longer available? Does anybody known another workaround if I want to use pylab with the Canopy distribution?
