matplotlib import fails in PyCA, works otherwise

[Greg Fleishman]

Hi guys,

In the Examples directory, when running python2 ROFTV.py

I get a warning: Warning: matplotlib import failed, some functionality disabled

(python2 is aliased to a python-2.7.14 binary I built specifically to run pyca)

However, just calling python and importing matplotlib seems fine. See the attached screenshot for complete input/output. Not sure if this is a bug in pyca (where/when matplotlib is expected to be imported) or something to do with my python or pyca builds.

Thanks for your time, happy to answer questions if necessary.

Nevermind! Found and followed your page on explicitly specifying a matplotlib backend, and just had to identify a backend that was installed and functional.

See note in wiki on specifying matplotlib backend.
