Failure to import matplotlib for python CGI script (apache webserver)
Question
Using: Apache Server 2.4 (localhost, Win10), Python 3.8.4 (32-bit)
I am trying to import matplotlib in my python CGI script and I cannot seem to find a solution (I have read the similar posts and I cannot seem to find a workaround).
Code (pythoncode.py located in Apache24\cgi-bin):
#!C:\Python\python.exe
import os,sys
import cgi
import cgitb
import math
import numpy as np
cgitb.enable()
print("Content-type:text/html\r\n\r\n")
print('<html>')
print ('<head>')
print ('<title>Hello World/title>')
print ('</head>')
print ('<body>')
print ('<h2>Hello World!</h2>')
print ('</body>')
print ('</html>')
print(sys.executable)
print(sys.version)
print(sys.prefix)
print(sys.path)
#print(os.path.expanduser('~')) # C:\Users\Mike
os.environ[ 'HOME' ] = 'C:/Python'
print(os.environ['HOME'])
print(np.arange(3,5))
import matplotlib
##matplotlib.use('Agg')
I have pip installed numpy to test if packages can be read, matplotlib is not cooperating. Numpy is for example.
I have done a complete uninstall and reinstall of python, removed all pip packages, and have only installed numpy and matplotlib.
Error (seen on index.html):
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Apache24/cgi-bin/collect_seats_by_click_server.py", line 34, in <module>

return cls(cls()._flavour.gethomedir(None))
File "C:\Python\lib\pathlib.py", line 265, in gethomedir
raise RuntimeError("Can't determine home directory")
RuntimeError: Can't determine home directory
Adding:
os.environ[ 'HOME' ] = 'C:/Python'
does not seem to change this error whatsoever.
I am fairly certain this is a webserver error, possibly not being able to read matplotlib dependencies, however, testing numpy makes me think otherwise. If you have any suggestions, or need any more information, please let me know. I am pretty lost at this point.
Other Information:
Python is installed at \C\Python:
Laravel to Python RuntimeError: Can't determine home directory
Importing & running matplotlib via CGI
ImportError: No module named 'matplotlib._path' when running a python script in apache2

Scrapped apache. Used flask and python webserver, working properly now.
