Matplotlib Python 3.10 的安装问题

Question

First, I do not believe this is a duplicate post of matplotlib installation issue python 3 this issue is relevant to matplotlib and Python 3.10 which was just recently released.

My Problem

I am having issues installing matplotlib with Python 3.10. I did not have these issues Python 3.9.6 . When installing matplotlib, I referenced the official instructions and I used the following command:

• python -m pip install -U matplotlib

Then I got this very long error message:

  Using cached matplotlib-3.2.1.tar.gz (40.3 MB)

Then, after the error message, the pip attempts to install matplotlib again, only to fail and repeat the same error message; as if it was caught in a continuously loop until I ended it, Again I didn't have this issue with Python 3.9.6 therefore, I am assuming this has something to do with Python's new release perhaps.

I also tried the following commands

• pip install matplotlib
• python3 install matplotlib

My Desired Solution

1. I would like to know why am I getting the error message
2. I would like to install and use matplotlib with Python 3.10 ---> The easy way

Explain it to me like I am five-years old what am I doing wrong here?

Answer 1

Not totally sure, but I ran into the same issue. After some digging and testing I think I've found out that Matplotlib, and pylab aren't compatible with python3.10 yet. For the time being I've kept python3.9 along with 3.10 so whenever I use matplotlib, numpy, or pylab, I just use version 3.9.

Answer 2

You need to switch to Python 3.8.

Use the following command to switch between the different alternatives:

sudo update-alternatives --config python3
