无法在Windows 32位上的Python 2.7中导入matplotlib

Question

I have many error's when I import matplotlib in Python. All the error's is from the program init .py of matplotlib

First:

So I download the whl file of this site: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#distribute Document: matplotlib-2.2.0rc1-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl

I opened the CMD and did: Python -m pip install matplotlib-2.2.0rc1-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl

This was succesfull (I tried the different versions but it give me always the same error's.)

So I opened Idle version 2.7.14 and tried to import matplotlib:

import matplotlib

And this gives me this error's:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python27\j.py", line 1, in <module>
    import matplotlib
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\__init__.py", line 134, in <module>
    from six.moves.urllib.request import urlopen
ImportError: No module named urllib.request
>>> 

I don't understand why they give me error's in this program... By the way I supposed to work with python 2.7 not Python3 so this is not a solution...

Can someone help me?

Matplotlib requires six 1.10 or higher to work correctly.
