import error but in the program init, can someone help me? (Python 2.7.14)

Question

I have those errors when i'm trying to import the matplotlib. How can i fix this?

I have install matplotlib with the pip install matplotlib and this was a succes. But when i import the package i have this kind of error. i see it is in the init block but how can i fix this?

i have already tried the pip matplotlib upgrade but this keeps the same problem. i just have matplotlib uninstalled and back installed and it is the same problem.

My code:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python27\TEST.py", line 1, in <module>
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\pyplot.py", line 26, in <module>
    from matplotlib.figure import Figure, figaspect

ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is geen geldige Win32-toepassing

I have tried another code, that I found in the comments. But this generate my another error code.

Code :

import matplotlib as mpl
mpl.use('TkAgg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python27\TEST.py", line 1, in <module>
    import matplotlib as mpl

I don't speak Dutch but the error message seems to be saying that it tried to load a DLL but failed. I'm guessing Matplotlib or one of its dependencies is incorrectly or incompletely installed. Can you review how you installed it? — tripleee, Feb 08 '18 at 11:27
If you are doing new development you should definitely be targetting Python 3 now. Python 2 was originally supposed to go end-of-life a couple of months from now, though it got another two years of additional artificial resuscitation. — tripleee, Feb 08 '18 at 11:28
Thing like that usually happen if you do not have the correct binaries installed. E.g. using matplotlib built for a 32-bit system on a 64bit python or vice versa. We have no information about your system etc. available here, so it's hard to judge on that. — ImportanceOfBeingErnest, Feb 08 '18 at 13:48
I have install matplotlib with: pip install matplotlib.. Otherwise I have a 64 bit PC en installed Python 64 bit. — B. De Wilde, Feb 09 '18 at 04:42

A "p" seems to be missing from "pyplot". You have pylot instead of pyplot in the import statement.

Try this and see it it provides any clues: ``import imp; imp.find_module("matplotlib")`` Seems like a DLL import error. – PaW Feb 08 '18 at 11:33
Another thing to check might be if you are trying to run a 64-bit version of Python on a 32-bit operating system. – PaW Feb 08 '18 at 11:35
I work with 64 bit and my PC is also 64 bit, but when i do your code i havn't any errors! – B. De Wilde Feb 08 '18 at 11:44
Try upgrading matplotlib ``pip upgrade matplotlib``. If that doesn't work you may want to reinstall Python. – PaW Feb 08 '18 at 11:51
I have the last upgrade – B. De Wilde Feb 08 '18 at 11:54
I have done: import imp; imp.find_module("matplotlib"). Now I havn't any errors but how can I use this module now? – B. De Wilde Feb 08 '18 at 12:00
Do you get these errors if just do ``import matplotlib`` ? – PaW Feb 08 '18 at 12:05

When i do import matplotlib I become the error (in my question) – B. De Wilde Feb 09 '18 at 04:52
