Which version are you using? From PyPI or from github?

PyPI. However, the Github version also fails with another error (just
tested):

Python 2.7.3 (default, Mar 13 2014, 11:03:55)
[GCC 4.7.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import prettyplotlib as ppl

with ppl.pretty:
... pass
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "prettyplotlib/colors.py", line 45, in enter
context = mpl.rc_context(rc=self.rcParams)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'rc_context'

Here we use brewer2mpl-1.4 from PyPI.

That looks like a very old matplotlib version:

import matplotlib as mpl
print(mpl.__version__)

We had teh same problem in ggplot: https://github.com/yhat/ggplot/blob/master/ggplot/ggplot.py#L31

[dpq]

1.3.1, the latest stable release

This is very strange! Can you print out all your python packages (pip list) and post it as a gist (https://gist.github.com/) ?

I have the same problem. Also running matplotlib version 1.3.1 with Anaconda python install on Windows 7.

@olgabot Here you go: https://gist.github.com/ngaloppo/3f3d10765e647a0610a8

+1 I have this issue as well with matplotlib 1.4.0 and ppl 0.1.7

Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, I no longer have the bandwidth to maintain prettyplotlib. I recommend using seaborn. Using seaborn, to get the prettyplotlib style, do:

import seaborn as sns
sns.set(style='ticks', palette='Set2')

And to remove "chartjunk", do:

sns.despine()

If you have discrete pull requests, I will accept them, but I personally will no longer fix bugs.

If you are a biological scientist looking for ways to analyze your big-ish (20+ samples) data, check out my main project, flotilla.
