[Mesa-users] Error in opening %pylab

[Wolf, William M]

Hi Gabriel,

This sounds like more of an issue with your python distribution than a mesa issue, so I don’t think we can diagnose this issue.

That being said, you could also just do something like

from matplotlib.pyplot import *

Which will fill up your namespace with everything in the pyplot submodule, but that’s more or less what pylab does anyway.

Regards,

Bill Wolf

Good evening,
I have installed MESA under Windows 10 and is computes and I have some outputs. Now I want to plot some results. I start ipython and try to start %pylab, but here is something wrong, which I do not understand. I get the error message at the end:

and more errors .... It seems like my computer tries to get %pylab from some other device. Please, can anybody tell me what is wrong? I have also installed Matplotlib and mesa_reader is working under ipython perfectly. However, without %pylab the command "plot" is not recognized.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Gabriel
