Problem: Unable to install matplotlib v 2.02 in Python 3.3 on Windows 10 environment
C:\Python33>pip install matplotlib
The pip installer completes most of the task and then gives me this error
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in c:\users\xxx\appdata\local\temp\pip-build-3ob70y\matplotlib\
C:\Python33>pip install --upgrade setuptools
Requirement already up-to-date: setuptools in c:\python33\lib\site-packages
I have tried the following
- uninstalling and reinstalling
- doing this at the root rather than Python33 folder
manually installing maplotlib. this seemed to work but it then found two missing files (__ and cycler) . I installed those separately with pips but then it complained about six.moves being missing
consulting several other articles on web. Some suggested a conflict between the requirements of python 2 and pythono 3. However it seems the packages are supposed to work with both
Here is the detailed pip error message
Successfully uninstalled matplotlib-2.1.0rc1
C:\Python33>pip install matplotlib
