Matplotlib import error ft2font

问题

I have Python 2.7.6 installed under Canopy on a 64 bit Mac with Ipython version 2.1.0. This is a really odd problem and I'm not sure if it is a path file problem. Whenever I import matplotlib.pyplot (not just matplotlib), I receive the following error:

In [2]: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

I can't seem to figure out what is missing or what I need to install. Matplotlib is from the canopy distribution so I can assume it installed correctly.

回答1:

I had the identical problem, and submitted a request to Enthought for help with this and got the following solution (from Jonathan March who commented above).

From the Canopy Tools menu, open a Canopy Terminal window and call:

enpkg --no-deps matplotlib 1.2.1
enpkg --no-deps libpng 1.2.40
enpkg --no-deps freetype 2.4.4

Apparently the issue, at least for my case, is that matplotlib 1.3 refers to a library which is not in OS X 10.6. So the workaround is to downgrade matplotlib.
