I use command pip install matplotlib to install it successfully. But when I type pip list, there is no matplotlib package in the list.
When I try
python2.7 -c 'import matplotlib; print matplotlib.__version__, matplotlib.__file__'
It shows
1.4.3 /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.pyc
But when I try import matplotlib.pyplot as plt in .py file, an error shows
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
ImportError: No module named pyplot
What makew me confused is that when I import matplotlib in python interpreter, no error shows.
I follow http://matplotlib.org/faq/installing_faq.html to check the installation. Installation seems succeed.
@WeatherGod @jenshnielsen Thanks guys, there is a matplotlib.py file in current directory.
Im a complete newb trying to follow a tutorial. had the same exact error message. try saving your program in a different folder. It worked for me somehow
