Re: [Bigbang-user] question + starting user notes

3. I do not get the notebooks properly running, I have tried several but I think this comes back (again) to Python versions because what I get when I simply run the first line (%matplotlib inline) in 'Analyze Senders'is: [code] ImportError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-1-e27d371d6baa> in <module>() ----> 1 get_ipython().magic('matplotlib inline') /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/IPython/core/interactiveshell.py in magic(self, arg_s) 2161 magic_name, _, magic_arg_s = arg_s.partition(' ') 2162 magic_name = magic_name.lstrip(prefilter.ESC_MAGIC) -> 2163 return self.run_line_magic(magic_name, magic_arg_s) 2164 2165 #------------------------------------------------------------------------- /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/IPython/core/interactiveshell.py in run_line_magic(self, magic_name, line) 2082 kwargs['local_ns'] = sys._getframe(stack_depth).f_locals 2083 with self.builtin_trap: -> 2084 result = fn(*args,**kwargs) 2085 return result 2086 <decorator-gen-106> in matplotlib(self, line) /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/IPython/core/magic.py in <lambda>(f, *a, **k) 191 # but it's overkill for just that one bit of state. 192 def magic_deco(arg): --> 193 call = lambda f, *a, **k: f(*a, **k) 194 195 if callable(arg): /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/IPython/core/magics/pylab.py in matplotlib(self, line) 98 print("Available matplotlib backends: %s" % backends_list) 99 else: --> 100 gui, backend = self.shell.enable_matplotlib(args.gui) 101 self._show_matplotlib_backend(args.gui, backend) 102 /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/IPython/core/interactiveshell.py in enable_matplotlib(self, gui) 2937 """ 2938 from IPython.core import pylabtools as pt -> 2939 gui, backend = pt.find_gui_and_backend(gui, self.pylab_gui_select) 2940 2941 if gui != 'inline': /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/IPython/core/pylabtools.py in find_gui_and_backend(gui, gui_select) 256 """ 257 --> 258 import matplotlib 259 260 if gui and gui != 'auto': /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/matplotlib-1.5.1-py3.4-linux-x86_64.egg/matplotlib/__init__.py in <module>() 122 from matplotlib.cbook import is_string_like, mplDeprecation, dedent, get_label 123 from matplotlib.compat import subprocess --> 124 from matplotlib.rcsetup import (defaultParams, 125 validate_backend, 126 cycler) /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/matplotlib-1.5.1-py3.4-linux-x86_64.egg/matplotlib/rcsetup.py in <module>() 32 33 # Don't let the original cycler collide with our validating cycler ---> 34 from cycler import Cycler, cycler as ccycler 35 36 #interactive_bk = ['gtk', 'gtkagg', 'gtkcairo', 'qt4agg', ImportError: No module named 'cycler' Import the BigBang modules as needed. These should be in your Python environment if you've installed BigBang correctly. [/code] I got similar output with other notebooks. I think this is because python 3.4 is being called. I tried: $ alias python=/usr/local/bin/python2.7 and $ ipython notebook examples/ But that does not seem to work. Any suggestions on how I can make ipython (or the notebooks) use python2 ?
