[Pythonmac-SIG] Gnuplot Installation

[Larry Meyn]

Hi All,

Thanks for all the feedback on this topic.  I took Jack's advice and 
ran gensuitemodule.  This avoids having to tamper with any of the 
Python distribution files like Required_Suite.  The gensuitemodule 
produces a gnuplot_Suites package to replace the gnuplot_Suites.py 
file.  The only change that seemed to be needed to the generated 
files in this package was to change the name of a method in 
gnuplot_Suite.py from exec to gnuexec.  Several changes needed to be 
made to gp_mac.py, but no other files seem to need modification. For 
those interested I've posted a copy of the module at the URL shown 
below. Just drop it into the Lib:site-packages folder. I don't know 
how the distutils package works, so running setup.py won't copy 
everything to the right place.  There are a few gnuplot errors 
generated when running test.py, so this is just an interim solution.

Larry
