I pip installed python as well as matplotlib, but when I type in the command "import matplotlib.pyplot as plt", I keep getting the error below, even after creating matplotlibrc file (which was not originally there) in ~/.matplotlib directory, with the line "backend : TKAgg"

RuntimeError: Python is not installed as a framework. The Mac OS X backend will not 
be able to function correctly if Python is not installed as a framework. See the 
Python documentation for more information on installing Python as a framework on 
Mac OS X. Please either reinstall Python as a framework, or try one of the other 
backends. If you are Working with Matplotlib in a virtual enviroment see 'Working 
with Matplotlib in Virtual environments' in the Matplotlib FAQ
