Id check to see which matplotlib versions you have rather than the Python version. Either:- C:\python Python 3.6.2rc1 (heads/3.6:268e1fb, Jun 17 2017, 19:01:44) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import matplotlib >>> matplotlib.__version__ '2.0.0' >>> or:- C:\python -c "import matplotlib;print(matplotlib.__version__)" 2.0.0 Kindest regards.
