python mpl_toolkits installation issue

Question

After command pip install mpl_toolkits I receive next error:

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement mpl_toolkits (from versions: )

No matching distribution found for mpl_toolkits

I tried to google, but nothing helps. How can I solve this?

Answer 1

It is not on PyPI and you should not be installing it via pip. If you have matplotlib installed, you should be able to import mpl_toolkits directly:

$ pip install --upgrade matplotlib
...

$ python
>>> import mpl_toolkits
>>>
