title: Python import matplotlib.pyplot not working
body: <p>I have tried easy_install matplotlib and have the following:</p>
  
  <p>matplotlib-1.2.0-py2.7-macosx-10.7-intel.egg</p>
  
  <p>installed in my Library/Python/2.7/site-packages.</p>
  
  <p>When I move to a different folder to make use of contents in that folder and try to </p>
  
  <p>"import matplotlib.pyplot" it says : ImportError: No module named matplotlib.pyplot </p>
  
  <p>This makes me think that the easy_install has been done incorrectly. This question is quite basic but I am working with mac osx and other than learn that it is incredibly hard to install this module on osx I have learnt little else from most sources so I would like to know if anyone on SO can help me with my problem. I am a python novice and would really appreciate the help.</p>
