I'm running El Capitan MacOS 10.11.3 i have a problem with Matplotlib
the following snippet to import the Matplotlib,that I execute inside jupyter notebook in Chrome
#These are all the modules we'll be using later. Make sure you can import them
# before proceeding further.
from __future__ import print_function
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
gives the (long) error message
ValueError Traceback (most recent call last)

if i type pip install matplotlib in the terminal,
$ pip install matplotlib
looks like it worked fine
$ pip install matplotlib
