ImportError: No module named matplotlib
the message is clear, you misses matplotlib, that is easily installable
with osgeo4w or with your favourite package manager if you use Linux.

No, the message is not clear. I am a scientist, journalist, and do a
fair bit of computer programming in other languages, but could use some
better documentation myself.
Can someone provide step-by-step instructions -- with URLs needed to
obtain modules -- so that those of us can get contour properly up and
running?
Bullet points:
1) I use Win7-64.
2) I have QGIS 1.8 installed.
3) I seem to have OSGeo4W installed.
4) I separately installed the appropriate version of Python 2.8 for my
processor.
5) I separately installed the appropriate version of NumPy for my
processor/Python combination.
6) I separately installed the appropriate version of SciPyfor my
processor/Python combination(I thought I saw it was needed for
matplotlib or one of matplotlib's prerequisites).
7) I separately installed the appropriate version of matplotlibfor my
processor/Python combination.
After all that, contour still freezes when I run it (all I get is a "Not
Responding" for several hours with no other error message). Maybe it
takes that long, but I only have about 400 points to contour at present.
I fully appreciate that I may have not installed something properly, but
after several hours of googling this and that to figure out how to get
this or that installed and functioning I am no closer to a solution.
So, please, don't be afraid to insult my intelligence -- you'll fail
anyway -- but please be explicit and clear as to how I and others
interested in the plugin can get it running. Don't assume we know
something you think is basic information.
I'm not trying to hurt anyone's feelings here, but I am a communications
professional -- in addition to being a geographer and natural scientist
-- and I know something about how to get a message across. Right now,
I'd really, really like to get one.
Thank you all for your time.
Dave
