I posted this question online and it seems that it would be useful to post it here.
tl;dr: I found a work around by creating a symbolic link to matplotlib in the modules folder. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32428845/why-does-matplotlib-not-work-on-a-digitalocean-vps-with-web2py I've got a digitalocean droplet and I deployed web2py using this script <https://github.com/web2py/web2py/blob/master/scripts/setup-web2py-nginx-uwsgi-ubuntu.sh>. I installed matplotlib as follows: ssh root@ipdroplet apt-get install python-matplotlib and I can indeed import matplotlib if I simply run python on the command line after I've ssh'd. The problem is that when I run my app I get the following error: <type 'exceptions.ImportError'> Cannot import module applications.app.modules.matplotlib I'm guessing this has something to do with user www-data vs root but no idea how to resolve it. Any help much appreciated. The tips that are mentioned in this <https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21msg/web2py/TWgBjFIG1GU/FCHI6KnBcrEJ> link unfortunately didn't help me. Thanks *EDIT* I should also mention that I'm not using the binary version of web2py. I've also managed to run python as www-data by doing sudo -u www-data python and I can import matplotlib there just fine. *EDIT2* When I was running locally on web2py 2.11.2-stable it worked fine. On my server though I was under 2.12.3-stable. I'm guessing this is probably the reason. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
