Python claims to be unable to import pyplot. Apart from that, it has been running absolutely fine.
I tried different versions of matplotlib, the one provided in my package manager (apt-get) and two (stable & last stable) releases compiled from source. I reinstalled all packages containting "python" on my system (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS). This error still occurs and prevents me from using pyplot. What should I try next?
