can't import cbook/matplotlib v. 2.1.0

I've recently updated matplotlib to 2.1.0 and now when I try to import
matplotlib/pylab I get the following error that cbook cannot be imported:

% python
Python 2.7.14 (default, Sep 22 2017, 00:05:22)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 7.3.0 (clang-703.0.31)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Importing pyfits
Could not import pylab
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/corcoran/.pythonrc", line 34, in <module>
    import matplotlib
  File
"/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py",
line 124, in <module>
    from . import cbook
ImportError: cannot import name cbook

any ideas what might be going on?

Were you in the matplotlib source directory when you launched your python
interpreter?

I don't think so. I re-tried it from my home directory and got the same
error...

How did you install matplotlib?

using macports. I'm on a macbook pro running 10.11.6. I've used matplotlib
for the past 2-3 years; this is the first time I had this issue

Then exactly which version of the matplotlib package did you install from
MacPorts? Just today, we had another bug report from another user using
MacPorts and python 2.7 that turned out to be a packaging error on their
part.

This is the python 2.7 version: py27-matplotlib 2.1.0

I also checked the python3 version - that seems to work ok (btw)

Check to see if you have the latest package from macports, the version the
other user had was 2.1.0_1, which indicates that there was at least a
bugfix in their packaging. That _1 release did have another bug, where the
backports package wasn't specified as a dependency in py27.

I have py27-matplotlib @2.1.0_1+cairo+tkinter (active) installed

I just went back to the 2.0.2 version via:

% sudo port activate py27-matplotlib @2.0.2_0+cairo+tkinter

and that seems to have resolved the issue. So it looks like there's
something strange with
the port of py27-matplotlib @2.1.0_1+cairo+tkinter
