error AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'use'

Hi
I am getting this error**
File “aerialvision1.py”, line 79, in
import startup
File “/home/satish/gpgpusim/gpgpu-sim_v2.1.1b/aerialvision/startup.py”, line 68, in
import guiclasses
File “/home/satish/gpgpusim/gpgpu-sim_v2.1.1b/aerialvision/guiclasses.py”, line 68, in
matplotlib.use(‘TkAgg’)
AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘use’
" AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘use’ " **

Can anyone please explain me this error

Thanks!
Satish

It means the authors of gpgpu-sim_v2.1.1b made a mistake and did not import matplotlib in guiclasses.py. Contact them about the bug.

It means that the "module" object (matplotlib) has no attribute named "use".
This kind of error is often encountered when wrong module is imported
as matplotlib.

Try

import matplotlib
print matplotlib.__file__

and see if the output correctly points the location where the
matplotlib is installed.
