Issue 2:
Hi guys!

I am new to python and matplotlib.

I installed everything with macports and when I run the matplotlib test

python2.7 -c 'import matplotlib; print matplotlib.version, matplotlib.file'

I get the following

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "", line 1, in

Do you guys have any idea what is happening....I have not done enything weards just follow simple steps to install it.

I want to use QUTIP and the matplotlib is essential for it...please if someone know it would be really nice

thanks!

regards,
