[SciPy-user] importing pylab??

[Saber Mbarek]

Hi,

I installed scipy a few days ago on my laptop (with os linux debian), but
while importing the pylab module from the (installed) python-matplotlib I
got the following error:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Aug  8 2008, 09:22:44)
[GCC 4.3.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import scipy
>>> import numpy
>>> import pylab
Traceback (most recent call last):

<module>
    preferredencoding = locale.getpreferredencoding()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/locale.py", line 514, in getpreferredencoding
    setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "")
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/locale.py", line 478, in setlocale
    return _setlocale(category, locale)
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Could you please help me ?

Best regards,
