I just installed matplotlib on debian and I tried to import it on python3. It cannot be found however it can be found on python 2.x. No surprise: A 'find -name matplotliib' reveals: /usr/share/matplotlib /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/matplotlib
I am not sure how the apt-get elected to place matplotlib in the python2.7 directory but I want to "properly" install it so it can import under python3. >There are probably commands from python3 to point its import to the 2.7 >directory, but I expect that is just a workaround and I am uneasy about >whether I have somehow installed a 2.7 compatible version only of matplotlib. >Possibly there is some recommended way to re-install matplotlib for python3 >sending it to the appropriate directories. Any advice here? thanks fritz -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
