Could not find the matplotlib data files - python-3.x

I am new to python and I am trying to create an .exe from py script with pyinstaller but I get this error when trying to run the .exe: Could not find the matplotlib data files.
When i run the script in python idle i dont get this error.
I've tried:
import matplotlib
setup(
data_files=matplotlib.get_py2exe_datafiles(),
)
But i get an error saying that setup is not defined.

I've fixed the problem by downgrading matplotlib to version 3.0.3
Using this command:
python -m pip install matplotlib==3.0.3

The only thing that worked "sustainably" for me is to also downgrade to and earlier version of Matplotlib version 3.1.3. I can now use pyinstaller. I can also run all program without that horrible warnings and stuff that it gives.
I used pip install matplotlib==3.1.3. make sure you uninstall all previous matplotlib.

hi i faced the same problem too when generating script using pyinstaller (im using python 3.7). The problem is solved when i installed:
pip install matplotlib==3.0.3

Find and edit the hook-matplotlib.py inside of lib/site-packages/pyinstaller/hooks
edit the data section from:
datas = [
(mpl_data_dir, "mpl-data"),
]
to
datas = [
(mpl_data_dir, "matplotlib/mpl-data"),
]

Pyinstaller can't find the location of your mpl-data folder.
Please search for mpl-data directroy and export that in your program
as a workaround
import os
os.environ['MATPLOTLIBDATA'] = 'location of mpl-data folder'

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sklearn.utils._typedefs'

When I try to execute the exe file made my pyinstaller I got the error message
No module named 'sklearn.utils._typedefs'. I use from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier in my python code.
I did use the --hidden-import and solve the problem before but when I try use the different version's python it didn't works
The command I use is
pyinstaller --hidden-import="sklearn.utils._cython_blas" --hidden-import="sklearn.neighbors.typedefs" --hidden-import="sklearn.neighbors.quad_tree" --hidden-import="sklearn.tree._utils" -F myprgname.py
The old setting works
Python 3.6.8
pyinstaller==4.6
pyinstaller-hooks-contrib==2021.3
python-dateutil==2.8.2
pytz==2021.3
scikit-learn==0.24.2
The new setting (got error message above)
Python 3.7.8
pyinstaller==5.0.1
pyinstaller-hooks-contrib==2022.4
python-dateutil==2.8.2
pytz==2022.1
scikit-learn==1.0.2
any suggestion is appreciated.
Had the same issue today, I resolved it by adding news hidden imports :
--hidden-import="sklearn.utils._typedefs"
This one may be sufficient for your issue, but for me, I had to add also :
--hidden-import="sklearn.neighbors._partition_nodes"
Here is the full command that I used :
pyinstaller --hidden-import="sklearn.utils._cython_blas" --hidden-import="sklearn.neighbors.typedefs" --hidden-import="sklearn.neighbors.quad_tree" --hidden-import="sklearn.tree._utils" --hidden-import="sklearn.neighbors._typedefs" --hidden-import="sklearn.utils._typedefs" --hidden-import="sklearn.neighbors._partition_nodes" --onefile MyPythonScript.pyw
My environment :
Python 3.9.12
Pyinstaller 5.0.1
pyinstaller-hooks-contrib==2022.4
python-dateutil==2.8.2
scikit-learn==1.0.2
pytz == none
I had the same issue and I could't solve it adding the --hidden-import flag.
I had scikit-learn==1.0.2 and pyinstaller==4.10
Downgrading it to scikit-learn==1.0.1 solved the problem.
pip install -U scikit-learn==1.0.1
I guess it is a compatibility problem.
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sklearn.utils'.
This is the problem you have when converting from python to an executable.
Knowing that I am using python 3.8, I had the same issue today. I resolved it by adding new hidden imports:
--hidden-import="sklearn.utils._typedef"
Didn't accept it at the command prompt CMD

Pandas install or import in IBM SPSS Statistics Version 26

I have installed the latest version of IBM SPSS Statistics(Version 26) which has pre installed python 3.4 and 2.7. i am trying to use version 3.4 python. i am able to import modules like pip , sys , os etc. i tried pandas the same way. i am unable to do so. getting error no module found. Hence going through our forum and IBM support did the following changes.
received the following error
1) tried pointing the site-packages via
import sys
# Assuming windows and standard python folder here.
sys.path.append(r"D:\Python34\Lib\site-packages")
2) changed the path in the settings of SPSS
3) Tried installing pip in the below folder as suggested in the forum but got message i have already installed the updated version.
C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\Subscription\Python3
4) following versions of python were installed
have tried what i could. Need your expertise help to fix the same which will help me to install/use modules needed for SPSS. Thanks.
This is going to be painful to explain, I'll do my best.
As far as I can tell, you're on windows. Usually when we need a new package, we just open cmd and type pip install xxx (assume you added python to path when installing it). The reason that this works, is because when you type pip install xxx in cmd, windows recognize pip to be a command because python path is in system variables. Windows know that I can execute pip install with this python path.
However for SPSS python (3.4), that python had a different path in the system. Thus when you only have the 3.7 or 3.8 python in path, windows cannot install package to you 3.4 python, and I'm not sure if you can have more than one python path in system.
In order to fix this, you need to first figure out what's the path to your 3.4 python, then in this page you can follow the instruction to remove your 3.7 or 3.8 python in path, and add your 3.4 path, then you can do pip install xxxx for whatever package you want
I did the same thing with a arcgis python distribution, hope this works for you. If the attached page does not work, just google add python path to windows and look for a instruction that works on you PC
Oh and the reason that you can import pip, sys and some other package but not pandas, is because python is 'battery included', it comes with tons of packages pre-installed for additional functionality, but pandas is not one of them.
Fixed it since my ananconda had version 3.7 .i created virtual environment and installed 2.7 python with anaconda package. Pointed SPSS to the 2.7 folder and was able to import pandas.

Pycharm, opencv fails to load dll, works on prompt

After installing miniconda with python 3.7 I do the following:
conda create --name opencv_test python=3.7
conda activate opencv_test
conda install -c anaconda opencv
Then to test the environement I do:
python
>>> import cv2
>>> exit()
Everything goes according to plan
Then if I launch PyCharm or vs code, set my new environment as the interpreter and create a simple file that contains only
import cv2
On launch I get:
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
What I learned from the internets:
This, this and this, all those posts refer to a problem that seems similar, the difference being that the issue for me only happens when using IDEs
What I tried before posting here:
Recreating the environment multiple times switching channels.
As it seemed to be a path issue, I added the paths which contained opencv dll to the environment paths in PyCharm settings one at a time
What I just tried after spending a considerable amount of time creating this post:
conda update conda
This weirdly downgrades python to 3.6
conda create --name opencv_test_2 python=3.6
conda activate opencv_test_2
conda install -c anaconda opencv
This seems to fix all the issues but:
I don't know what just happened and why the issue only appeared on IDEs
I'd like to use python 3.7
So in short, why when using python 3.7 and PyCharm I seem to be unable to import opencv even if it works on command line?
Thanks in advance.

PyCharm Import Error: Claims 'matplotlib' is not a package, but works successfully in IDLE

Happy October everyone,
I've successfully downloaded modules before using either the pycharm installer or pip through the command screen, but for some reason when installing matplotlib pycharm cannot recognize it. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've installed through both methods, I've followed past similar questions asked on this site which make sure that you have the same interpreter and that it was installed in the right folder (pycharm error while importing, even though it works in the terminal).
So, here's the whole problem. Here's is the simple code, submitted into both pycharm and IDLE:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1,2,3],[2,1,3])
plt.show()
When submitted into IDLE, my plot appears. When submitted into pycharm, the following error appears:
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/PythonProject/matplotlib.py", line 1, in <module>
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
File "C:\PythonProject\matplotlib.py", line 1, in <module>
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
ImportError: No module named 'matplotlib.pyplot'; 'matplotlib' is not a package
I am currently running Python 3.4, PyCharm 2016.2.3, and my matplotlib folders are indeed in my site-packages folder inside my Python34 folder. Also for further verification:
PyCharm installation
Please help I've become frustrated since this is the only module I've run into trouble with. I've scoured StackOverflow and related websites to help, I've made sure I have all the requirements, etc.
I guess if you named your current writing python module as matplotlib.py.That cause the python load your current writing module instead of the actual matplotlib.py, which triggers an error.
I recommend you to use virtualenv. Is not strictly necessary but is good for dividing your project environments.
This is how I tested matplotlib on my Windows 10 installation, hope it helps.
Be sure that you have the python 3 installation folder listed in your Windows PATH environment variable, should be already listed if you checked "Add Python 3.5 to PATH":
You need also to set the Scripts folder in your PATH environment variable usually should be this path:
C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\Scripts
If you don't do that you have to prepend python -m to every command below like this: python -m <command>, so the command below would be python -m pip install virtualenv. I prefer the first solution.
To test matplotlib on Pycharm I've used virtualenv, here is how; first install virtualenv:
pip install virtualenv
Then you create your virtual environment in a folder of your choice, in my case I used python_3_env_00:
virtualenv python_3_env_00
After that you can activate you python 3 virtual environment:
python_3_env_00/Scripts/activate.bat
Now you should see in your command line the active virtual environment (python_3_venv_00), like this:
Now you can install matplotlib:
pip install matplotlib
Fire up PyCharm and add your virtual environment as you project interpreter, go to File->Settings search for Project Interpreter click on the gear icon and Add Local and set the path of your virtual environment, should look like something like this:
Test it:
import sys
print(sys.path)
run this code in where the import worked, and run it in the Pycharm project. Compare the lists. Find out which path that is not present in Pycharm sys.path.
Before importing pyplot, append the missing path to sys.path.
import sys
sys.path.append("the path")
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Does this work?
Please follow below steps if you are still getting an error:
If you are using PyCharm, it automatically create virtualenv.
Ensure Scripts path is set into PATH
C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32
Then open PyCharm and go to File-> settings. Search for Project Interpreter. You will see window like this
sample image
Click on setting icon -> Existing Environment -> click on ... give below path
C:\Users\Krunal\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\python.exe
Click on Apply -> ok and you are good to go.
After installing matplotlib When I was trying to use matplotlib.pyplot it was giving error module not found.
I browsed some white papers and found out that we also need to install scipy library to use the matplotlib so I used the below in my command prompt
python -mpip install scipy
Restarted my kernel session.
It worked!!!
I was also facing issue while importing matplotlib but it got resolved and now I am able to use it from pycharm as well.
Please make sure you should have visual c++ 14 installed in your system.
2.If you have more than two python version installed on your system then please install matplotlib from both the version.
Eg. pip install matplotlib
pip3 install matplotlib
If matplotlib is working from python idle then please check whether you are using correct interpreter in pycharm or not and try to choose pythonw.exe path from your installed location.
Hope this will help, Please do let me know if you are still facing issue.
I had similar issue but I solved it very easily on pycharm 2019.3.2. In case anyone looking for an easier solution:
I just opened the terminal window on pycharm and typed pip install matplotlib and it was all good to go. Every project has its own virtual environment. Opening terminal window of IDE cds to project directory by default. So the installing command was enough.

Anaconda3 libhdf5.so.9: cannot open shared object file [works fine on py2.7 but not on py3.4]

I just tried to use pd.HDFStore in IPython Notebook with a Python 3 kernel (Anaconda 2&3 on Ubuntu 14.04)
import pandas as pd
store = pd.HDFStore('/home/Jian/Downloads/test.h5')
but it throws the following error
ImportError: HDFStore requires PyTables, "libhdf5.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" problem importing
I initially thought it's because pytables is somehow missing, but when I check $source activate py34 and $conda list, pytables 3.2.0 is already installed under anaconda python3 environment.
Also, if I switch to Python 2, for example, $source activate py27 and start ipython notebook, it works properly and no import error is thrown.
I guess that I must miss something for configuring pytables under anaconda python 3 env, but I cannot figure it out. Any help is highly appreciated.
Update:
I just tried on a fresh install of Anaconda3-2.3.0-Linux-x86_64 from official website and it ends up with the same error. When I try $locate libhdf5.so.9 in command line, nothing shows up.
This is a known issue that we are working on. When it is fixed, conda update --all will update the libraries and fix the issue.
