PyCall throws shlib_ext missing error

[ibell]

I think this is a bug with Julia, not PyCall, but I'm not sure... I see the same error on windows and linux. See also JuliaPy/PyCall.jl#125

Need to do Pkg.checkout("PyCall") until a new version is tagged. See #10328 and JuliaPy/PyCall.jl#119

Evidently I am up-to-date and no love

julia> Pkg.checkout("PyCall")
INFO: Checking out PyCall master...

I guess that one wasn't fixed yet. Not a julia bug, just caught on the bleeding edge of API cleanup (#10328). Fix inbound but probably won't get merged until tomorrow.

okiedokie, thanks anyway

i get the same error (shlib_ext not defined).
tried to checkout newer version of PyCall(and PyPlot), but also seem to have the latest version already.
"PyCall" => v"0.7.3+"
"PyPlot" => v"1.5.1+"

my Julia-Version: 0.4.0-dev+3981 (2015-03-25 02:18 UTC)
