ImportError: No module named six

Community matplotlib-users

I did as you suggest and got the "No module named matplot lib" message. I
installed version 1.4.3 and got the "no module named six" message. I then
deleted all the matplotlib files once again and installed version 1.3.1 and now
my matplotlib program runs. Is there something else could try?

Chances are, there is some sort of mixup in your installs (as evidenced by
the failure to go back to the previous version). I would try uninstalling
all matplotlib installs, then checking to see if python still sees
matplotlib anywhere (by running the script). It *should* say "No module
named matplotlib" or some such. Once all of that is removed, install
matplotlib again.

So then I went back to 1.3.1 and get the same error...
Help!

An important question that I should have asked before. Exactly where did you get the installer from? That might help us figure out what happened here.

As for a workaround, if you want to get savy with the command-line, you could run “pip install six” on the command-line. That should install it for you, and then you can try installing matplotlib through the executable.
