ImportError on Anaconda Win64 system

Not sure where to post this.

I have a fresh Anaconda Win64 python 2.7.10 install which I then updated using conda update --all.

If it try to:

from pylab import *

I get the following:

File “~\Anaconda\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\qt_compat.py”, line 91, in

from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui

ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

I have the following installed:

qt: 4.8.7

pyqt 4.11.4

matplotlib 1.4.3

Should I open an issue on matplotlib github?

It sounds like your PyQt package is broken.

What happens if you do:

from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui

in a python shell

If that fails that is a bug in PyQt/Qt or in your anaconda installation and not a Matplotlib bug. You could try reinstall QT and PyQt.

As a workaround you can tell Matplotlib to use a different backend http://matplotlib.org/faq/usage_faq.html#what-is-a-backend

BTW the matplotlib mailing list has changed to matplotlib-users@…83…48…
