title: Installing matplotlib under Windows
body: <p>I'm trying to install matplotlib under Windows Vista. Both python itself and numpy are working for me.</p>
  
  <p>I installed matplotlib via the executable <code>basemap-1.0.2.win32-py2.7</code> and followed the <a href="http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/installing.html#installing-on-windows" rel="noreferrer">official instructions</a>. But running <code>from matplotlib import *</code> gives me the following error: </p>
  
  <p><code>No module named matplotlib</code></p>
  
  <p>Any ideas how to get matplotlib working?</p>
