python mpl_toolkits installation issue
After command pip install mpl_toolkits
I receive next error:
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement mpl_toolkits (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for mpl_toolkits
I tried to google, but nothing helps. How can I solve this?
It is not on PyPI and you should not be installing it via pip
. If you have matplotlib
installed, you should be able to import mpl_toolkits
directly:
$ pip install --upgrade matplotlib
...
$ python
>>> import mpl_toolkits
>>>
It doesn't work on Ubuntu 16.04, it seems that some libraries have been forgotten in the python installation package on this one. You should use package manager instead.
Solution
Uninstall matplotlib from pip then install it again with apt-get
python 2:
sudo pip uninstall matplotlib
sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib
python 3:
sudo pip3 uninstall matplotlib
sudo apt-get install python3-matplotlib
if anyone has a problem on Mac, can try this
sudo pip install --upgrade matplotlib --ignore-installed six
I can't comment due to the lack of reputation, but if you are on arch linux, you should be able to find the corresponding libraries on the arch repositories directly. For example for mpl_toolkits.basemap
:
pacman -S python-basemap
