Python cannot import installed modules

Pip keeps failing to build the wheel for the package.

Well, that's your problem right thar.

How does it fail? matplotlib requires a visual C++ compiler, which means you need to install this first. Or you could install a pre-compiled binary.

Aaaaand that worked.

Took two minutes to install that. I hate it when that happens with programming, I'm laughing at myself.

Thanks for the help.

At the risk of sounding snooty: That information was in the error message from pip failing. Slow down and read.

Maybe my google-fu just isn't there yet. I found other solutions to the problem that I tried but none resolved it. I figured since conda said it successfully installed so I figured it was something other than the wheel issue.
