Matplotlib with PyQt5

Question

I want to read data and plot dynamic graph, so I learn matplotlib with PyQt5. I find example but it's for PyQt4, there I modify it to PyQt5 but it had some problem, when I click start button it says error

This is my code:

        self.axes.hold(False)

        vbox = QVBoxLayout()
        self.canvas = MyMplCanvas(self, width=5, height=4, dpi=100)
        vbox.addWidget(self.canvas)

        hbox = QHBoxLayout()

        vbox.addLayout(hbox)
        self.setLayout(vbox)

        self.x = np.linspace(0, 5*np.pi, 400)
        self.p = 0.0
        self.y = np.sin(self.x + self.p)
        self.line, = self.canvas.axes.plot(self.x, self.y, animated=True, lw=2)




    def update_line(self, i):
        self.p += 0.1

    def on_stop(self):
        self.ani._stop()

    qApp = QApplication(sys.argv)
    aw = AnimationWidget()
    aw.show()
    sys.exit(qApp.exec_())

I had the same problem, this worked. You have to install the numpy -11.1 + mkl ( http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ ) first, And then install the matplotlib( http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#matplotlib ) module then it works fine.
