as you see there is something suspicious here in pip list: -atplotlib I do not know what is that! it looks like matplotlib without first letter m

I have search a lot and did a lot of efforts based on this

Getting an error that reads: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'matplotlib.artist'

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/6771/

like, reinstall matplotlib, reinstall anaconda ...

but it does not work! In my view, it might be something related to the path, but I can not find the solution.

I also uninstall my anaconda two times still have the problem!

any suggestion would be appreciated

    If you get this error, your matplotlib installation is broken. You need to remove matplotlib and reinstall it. – ImportanceOfBeingErnest Nov 07 '19 at 12:55
  • @ImportanceOfBeingErnest tnx for the prompt response, I have done uninstall with pip moreever if you read my question I had uninstalled the anaconda! still the same error, I really do not know what is the problem – DevML Nov 07 '19 at 13:40
  • 1
    Maybe you have several python versions installed and are working with the wrong one here? – ImportanceOfBeingErnest Nov 07 '19 at 13:41
  • @ImportanceOfBeingErnest tnx again, I have only "Anaconda3 (python 3.7.4 )" and "python launcher" in my control panel. any idea? – DevML Nov 07 '19 at 13:46
  • 1
    Did you install matplotlib via anaconda or via pip? You could also show the complete error trace in the question, maybe that hints at a potential source of the problem. – ImportanceOfBeingErnest Nov 07 '19 at 13:52
  • @ImportanceOfBeingErnest I checked that I have only one version python as follow: ```C:\Users\moha>py -0 Installed Pythons found by py Launcher for Windows -3.7-64 *``` I update the complete error now... – DevML Nov 07 '19 at 13:55
  • @ImportanceOfBeingErnest it is done! now you have the complete error – DevML Nov 07 '19 at 14:00

    Can you run `activate` Enter, `where python` in the command line – ImportanceOfBeingErnest Nov 07 '19 at 14:15
  • @ImportanceOfBeingErnest here is here is the result: C:\Users\moha\python C:\Users\moha\Anaconda3\python.exe you are right! how can I one of them? and which one, I also put the pip list result after uninstall matplot in question – DevML Nov 07 '19 at 14:36
  • @ImportanceOfBeingErnest any idea? I really sucked up for 2 days..:( – DevML Nov 07 '19 at 17:46
  • 1
    Yes, you have two or more python versions, so you need to make sure to use the correct one when installing and running. – ImportanceOfBeingErnest Nov 07 '19 at 17:49
  • @ImportanceOfBeingErnest I have removed now, the result of cmd is now:C:\Users\moha\Anaconda3\python.exe and still does not work,even I made a env and still does not work! any idea...I guess now I have one python – DevML Nov 07 '19 at 17:55
  • @ImportanceOfBeingErnest I really did all, I have updated the question also. can you let me know how can I solve it.... – DevML Nov 07 '19 at 18:02
  • @ImportanceOfBeingErnest any idea? – DevML Nov 07 '19 at 18:07

    Ernest is correct, this looks like an installation issue. Keep uninstalling things until all of your python installations are gone (anaconda, pythonxy, winpython, from python.org, from appstore, ....) and then start from scratch with exactly one source. Based on your question, that is the best advice we can give. This conversation be be better at https://discourse.matplotlib.org/c/community/install – tacaswell Nov 07 '19 at 22:33
  • @tacaswell I have done multiple times! still the same result! – DevML Nov 08 '19 at 11:54
  • @ImportanceOfBeingErnest I have done all possible ways, same result any idea – DevML Nov 08 '19 at 11:54
  • having this -atplotlib 3.1.1 in my pip list after reinstation is wired! which is not the name of any package but matplotlib without m ..! – DevML Nov 08 '19 at 12:00

Go to this location

~\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\site-packages\

There will be two folders named as

~atplotlib

and

matplotlib

Please rename ~atplotlib to matplotlib

The system will ask you that there is another folder with the same name, so do you want to merge.

Select merge option.

In my case, this resolved the matter.

  • I spent 4 hours trying to fix this. Your answer is an absolute lifesaver! – mapleleaf May 03 '22 at 17:04
  • The same worked for me, only with a different location: `C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\envs\your_environment\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib` – confused_zebra May 11 '22 at 10:51
  • deleting any folder starting with ~atplotlib or ~tplotlib worked for me, I couldn't replace the individual files after merging the folders, as Windows was asking me to rename them. – Erick Mar 22 '23 at 17:08
  • It worked for me too! But my path for **Python3.10** was different `~\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Lib\site-packages` – Peyman Jun 19 '23 at 18:39

I also had similar problem, the below command solved the problem, run it in anaconda command prompt.

conda install matplotlib --force

I had the same problem using Python 3.9. I had no folder named ~atplotlib so I couldn't merge it as suggested. I however found ~andas (pandas) in site-packages which I attempted to merge but was unsuccessful.

I uninstalled matplotlib using "pip uninstall matplotlib" and then reinstalled pandas after removing all pandas folders in site-packages. I noticed the numpy was included at the same time and created a new folder ~umpy so now I just removed everything again that contained numpy, pandas or matplotlib from site-packages (after uninstalling via pip).

Then I installed the modules in the order pandas, (numpy included), matplotlib using pip. And now finally it works. Utterly confusing.

I face the same problem and I used the below command. Please use this command in Anaconda prompt.

>conda install matplotlib

after upgrading Matplotlib check this as well

Go to this location

~\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\site-packages\

and check the folder name .. for some weird reason matplotlib is saved as ~atplotlib folder.

just rename ~atplotlib folder as matplotlib

I had the same problem. Resolved by installing the 'matplotlib-base" in anaconda.

Follow the below steps for the same:

  1. Open Anaconda navigator
  2. Choose the "Environments"
  3. Choose "base(root)" environment
  4. select the option "All" then Search for "matplotlib"
  5. choose matplotlib-base Then Click on botton
  6. Restart your JuputerNotebook kernal and then import the matplotlib
