Having issues getting scitools installed with Gnuplot...

I have installed scitools via the installation instructions, however anytime I 
try to import the 
scitools module I get the error "scitools.easyviz backend is gnuplot."

I looked up the documentation for scitools online 
(http://code.google.com/p/scitools/wiki/EasyvizDocumentation#Check_You_Backends!
). 
Gnuplot is working correctly. The Gnuplot exec file is located in 
/opt/local/bin, which is indeed 
registered to my PATH variable. Also, I have installed gnuplot.py and 
everything appears okay on 
that end.

Not sure what the issue is, this is my first time trying to use scitools. I 
tried searching online for 
a solution but came up short.

Thanks!

The message "scitools.easyviz backend is gnuplot" is not an error message. It 
only
tells you that SciTools will use Gnuplot as the plotting engine. If you don't 
like
the message to be shown, you can set the verbosity level to 0 in scitools.cfg.
