I have Python 2.7.6 installed under Canopy on a 64 bit Mac with Ipython version 2.1.0. This is a really odd problem and I'm not sure if it is a path file problem. Whenever I import matplotlib.pyplot (not just matplotlib), I receive the following error: In [2]: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ImportError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-2-eff513f636fd> in <module>() ----> 1 import matplotlib.pyplot as plt /Users/rpatel/Library/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/pyplot.py

Is there a way to test if the Canopy editor is open/running that would work across platforms? On Mac/Unix, it seems to work to check for canopy.app.main in the output of "ps aux", but that is not possible on most Windows. I found a tasklist command that is similar, but it appears Canopy runs as a generic pythonw program. At present, on all OSes, if Canopy is running, then there will be a text file process.lck in the configuration/preferences directory . The second line of the file is the process ID. If Canopy was forced-stopped, the file will still be present even though Canopy is not running,

I am currently trying to make a traitsUI GUI for a class that contains many instances of a single object. My problem is very similar to the one solved in MultiObjectView Example TraitsUI . However, I don't like the idea of using a context as it requires me to write out the same view many times for each object I have (and I might have a lot). So I tried to edit the code to make it so that each Instance of the House object would default to looking like its normal view when it is viewed from the Houses object. It almost worked, except now I get a button that takes me to the view I want rather

I'm using Enthought's beta distribution of Python Canopy 0.9.1 on Windows 7. How do I increase the size of my IPython buffer. Also how do I pipe the output of a command through a paginator; output is currently unpaginated. If existing answers like How to increase the ipython qtconsole scrollback buffer limit or How to use Pipe in ipython will work, I don't know how to apply them to Windows. Thank you! There's currently no preference or config option to increase the buffer limit currently, but you could create a macro with the following code, and run it. def run(): code_task = get_active_task()

I am new to IPython and I am using the Canopy distribution. The default value of the shell's working directory is /home/username. This is a bit painful, when I work on files which need other files present in the corresponding folder that I am working in. So, I always manually change it to folder in which the file (which I am trying to execute) is present. I found this relevant question , but my question is slightly different. Also, I couldn't understand the answer provided there really well. Is there a shorter way of setting up the working directory of the IPython shell to that of the file on
