Where is the function get_example_data in matplotlib? It seems to be missing but its in examples/tutorials

Looking at this tutorial here: link text it references matplotlib.get_example_data('goog.npy'). I get an error when I run this, and furthermore I can't even find the mpl-data/ folder in my macosx installation of matplot lib when searching using Spotlight. Any idea what this function is now called?

From stackoverflow

• It's defined in __init__.py (around line 490), if that's what you're asking.

  P.S. The mpl_data/ directory is there too (both of them are in the top level directory). Are you sure you've got a good / complete installation?

  ApplePieIsGood : My installation came with an Enthough distribution. I am on an iMac and can't find any of this stuff. Where is it installed by default on unix machines?

  MarkusQ : Try using 'locate' or 'find' to determine where it is on your machine (since that's what you're really interested in).

  ApplePieIsGood : OK I found the __init__.py for matplotlib on my machine, but it does not have get_example_data defined in it nor does it have goog.npy in its mpl-data folder. Maybe the problem is that its using 98.3.0001 which comes with Enthought's distribution, where as the newer version 98.5 has it defined.
