[yt-users] issue with wx python and matplotlib

[Eric Hallman]

Hello,
   I am having a problem with yt on ubuntu 9.10 that I haven't seen  
before, wondering if anyone else has this error.  I have wxPython  
2.8.10 installed, so the error message makes no sense to me.  Thanks  
for any help.

Python 2.6.3 (r263:75183, Jan 29 2010, 11:07:13)
