Question :
ImportError: matplotlib requires dateutil
I have successfully installed matplotlib with python 2.6 on x64 Windows7. When I try to import matplotlib, it shows the following error. I have also installed numpy following this link: Installing Numpy on 64bit Windows 7 with Python 2.7.3
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
File "C:Python26Libsite-packagesmatplotlib__init__.py", line 110, in <module>
raise ImportError("matplotlib requires dateutil")
ImportError: matplotlib requires dateutil
How can I make it work?
I installed matplotlib-1.3.0.win-amd64-py2.6.exe from http://matplotlib.org/downloads.html
