I got an error when I import SkewTplus . I don't know what to do. I have tried reinstalling matplotlib but the problem doesn't go away.

Answer 1

I met the same error and solved it by reinstalling it again.Make sure using conda and pip to reinstall the package and then reinstall it again.

 pip uninstall matplotlib conda uninstall matplotlib
