I had python 2.7.6 installed on OS X yosemite, which has always worked
fine, until I tried to install matplotlib with pip. I got the same
error below and upgraded to 2.7.9, used pip to upgrade all the
packages, but still get the same error.
import matplotlib

It looks like you have a mixture of packages, some left over from using
the system Python 2.7 and, unfortunately, the system Python site-package
directory is included at the sys.path search path for other Pythons,
like the python.org Pythons. If you plan to just use the Python 2.7.9,
go to /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages and rm everything there. Then
use the 2.7.9 pip to install matplotlib. It should download and install
(to
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-pack
ages) the binary wheels for matplotlib and its dependencies, including
numpy, and all just work.

A lot of the stuff in that directory took a long time to get compiled
and working properly. Buildozer, pcapy, scapy are more important than
matplotlib to me, and they work well.
An alternative is to use another OS that perhaps doesn't run on
overrated, overpriced hardware from an overrated company.

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
