on 64bit win 7, I installed all of compatible versions of setuptools, numpy, python-dateutil, pytz, pyparsing and six in addition to matplotlib. I did this by downloading source into a folder, and installing from source ... for example,
python setup.py install
finally, I installed python matplotlib by,
cd matplotlib
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
I tested matplotlib by running python from my windows powershell, and typing import pylab I got error:
ImportError: error importing numpy: you should not try to import numpy from its source ...
I found a stackoverflow question that addressed this, leading answer was to change working directory from the directory where numpy lives.
I changed the working directory to another folder in my drive, again ran python from my interpreter, typed import pylab and received this error:
ImportError: NO module named numpy"
I am now at a loss. It either refuses to import numpy, or says it doesn't exist? But it knew it existed earlier?
Ive been looking for a solution for more than three hours now, am stumped. Apologies in advance if this question seems too noob.
finally, I am open to trying a different module if it would be easier. I only want to plot some data.
