PlotKit Widget not installing properly

[Code Penguin]

I just recently easy_installed the PlotKit widget. Unfortunately, when
I open up the Widget Browser, it isn't in there. I have Python 2.4
with the latest TurboGears. I've tried it on two installations and
nothing works. I can manually import the model so I know it is there.
(ie: from plotkit import EasyPlot) but I still can't use it in my
projects because it doesn't seem to be registered as a TG Widget. Any
body else experiencing this problem or have similar ones? Thanks

I meet that problem, too :-P

Since to use PlotKit directly with javascript is a bit cumbersome, so I
made the PlotKit widget(and learned how to pack a widget as well). Both
PlotKit and PlotKit widget has their limit.

Currently I'd like to suggest you to try the XML/SWF Charts, for me
it's the most headacheless solution I've found currently.(Though its
not totally free)

I'd like to contribute something that really useful for people,
so if the widget is not that useful l'd consider to get rid of that
link.

it would be better to try and fix the widget. I'll try to take a look
at it today and see if there is anything obvious for why it isn't
working ... been meaning to take apart a widget and see how it works
anyways.

The strange thing is that while I bump the required version from
turbogears >=0.9.4 ->
turbogears >=0.9.6, it works again .....

So I'll check the link and update a new version soon

Thanks for your help :-)

Sure, always glad to help ... especially when all I have to do is say
that I will take a look at something later. ;)

I've tried the new version posted yesterday but it still doesn't work.
Is it working for anyone else? Thanks

Hi:

I installed from .egg file and found it isn't in toolbox, too.
But strangly it works by extracting the source and type "setup.py
install".

I've uploaded the source to CheeseShop, Since I always incounter an 400
msg while uploading egg to CheeseShop,

> Submitting dist\PlotKit-0.9.1w2-py2.4.egg to http://www.python.org/pypi
> Upload failed (400): Bad Request

You could have it by checking out sourceforge/tgwidget svn repository
as well.
