问题
I am able to generate *.dat file:
vikas@server:~/memory_profiler-0.36$ ./mprof run --python test_sl.py
vikas@server:~/memory_profiler-0.36$ ls *.dat
mprofile_20151001035123.dat
But when I am trying to plot graph then it is saying "matplotlib is needed for plotting"
vikas@server:~/memory_profiler-0.36$ ./mprof plot --output=plot.png
matplotlib is needed for plotting.
Did I miss anything?
Function I am profiling is run() which is inside: file_to_be_profiled.py
#!/usr/bin/python
import time
import os, sys, commands
from memory_profiler import profile
from guppy import hpy
@profile
def run():
d = {}
l = []
hp = hpy()
before = hp.heap()
d["k1"] = 'val1'
d["k2"] = 10
count = 0
while (count < 9):
l.append(count)
print 'The count is:', count
count = count + 1
print "Good bye!"
after = hp.heap()
leftover = after - before
print leftover
if __name__ == '__main__':
sys.exit(run())
And I am invoking run() from my test script: test_sl.py:
#!/usr/bin/python
import commands
# for the time being I am running my test to profile method: run() inside file_to_be_profiled.py
run_cmd = './file_to_be_profiled.py
commands.getstatusoutput(run_cmd)
I am running on ubuntu machine. But apt-get install did not worked for me. Then I did the install from source. But then also I am getting same error.
apt-get failed:
vikas@server:~/memory_profiler-0.36$ sudo apt-get install -y python-matplotlib

Package python-matplotlib is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'python-matplotlib' has no installation candidate
vikask@server:~/memory_profiler-0.36$ ./mprof plot --output=plot.png
matplotlib is needed for plotting.
Then I attempted pip install... which also did not go through:

Finally I tried installing from source which seems to be succeeded:

But when I try to plot the graph I hit the original issue:
vikas@server:~/matplotlib/matplotlib-master$ cd ../../memory_profiler-0.36
vikas@server:~/memory_profiler-0.36$ ./mprof plot --output=plot.png
matplotlib is needed for plotting.
I was able to successfully do apt-get update(there was some firewall issue and then I successfully did: sudo apt-get install -y python-matplotlib.
But still I am getting some issue while running mprof:
vikas@server:~/memory_profiler-0.36$ ./mprof plot --output=plot.png
Using last profile data.

Why do I need to set the display? I am working on ubuntu hosted machine.
回答1:
You need to install matplotlib
, as instructed (this error in thrown by mprof when it can't find matplotlib).
You can do so using pip pip install matplotlib
(you might need to prefix this with sudo
) or your package manager:
sudo apt-get install -y python-matplotlib
on Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives.sudo yum install -y python-matplotlib
on RHEL, CentOS and derivatives.
回答2:
It seems matplotlib: 3.0.1 does not go well with python 3.7 in conda environment. df.plot() command could not be executed properly showing "ImportError: matplotlib is required for plotting" but actually matplotlib is installed.
I tried to downgrade matplotlib to 3.0.0 then everything is fine.
conda install -n [your_conda_envionment] matplotlib==3.0.0
回答3:
I had the same problem. I used memory_profiler lib typing this commands
(mprof run runner.py
and mprof plot
) and got a message "matplotlib is needed for plotting"
I tried to get rid of this problem following advice I found here but in the result I solved this problem completing these simple steps:
delete files in /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/ connected with matplotlib (or you can uninstall matplotlib using the ordinary way)
use
sudo yum-builddep python-matplotlib
to install connected packages (222 packages were installed, if you need apt-get, you need this command:sudo apt-get build-dep python-matplotlib
)install matplotlib
sudo yum reinstall python-matplotlib
(or use install command, with apt-get:sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib
)
I believe this will help.
回答4:
I had same problem on freshely installed Ubuntu 16.04. To solve it, I have installed SciPy like this:
sudo pip install scipy
Also I had to install tkinter
lib like this:
sudo apt-get install python-tk
I guess somewhere in the past, matplotlib had scipy
as dependency, but now it only has numpy, while mprof plot
requires scipy
.
