There's an often encountered bug when applying the perspective to groups that have a 'transform' attribute... (for example a text object that has been positioned with the mouse first and later converted to path instead of vice versa).

If you tell us which platform you are working on, maybe someone knows and can help… ;-)

AFAIK lxml and numpy are not included in the original Python installation (except your distribution - if you work on some kind of linux platform - offers special packages that include popular modules).

simple steps to test:

Code: Select all

LeWitt:~ suv$ python
Python 2.6.2 (r262:71600, Aug 23 2009, 06:02:15)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import foo
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named foo
>>> import numpy
>>> print numpy.__path__
['/Volumes/blue/mp/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/python2.6/site-packages/numpy']
>>> quit()
LeWitt:~ suv$
(sidenote: most inkscape python extensions have been developed with Python versions ranging from 2.3 to 2.5, some have been updated to test for depreciated commands in Python 2.6. I have no idea how many have been tested with Python 3.1 nor do I know what internal changes might have happended between Python 2.6 and 3.x ;-)
