error rectification in installing pyplot
pyplot is part of a matplotlib.
In order to install pyplot you should install matplotlib
pip install matplotlib
So you can "import matplotlib.pyplot"
You can go to https://pypi.org/project/matplotlib to see and install the version you want.
Then you can import the pylot
from matplotlib import pyplot
Alpaca backtrader plot issue: I ran into this import issue and found this article, so I applied the code, but same issue not resolved. any one can help please?
My installed matplotlib version is 3.3.1
backtrader 1.9.76.123
python 3.8.5
the entire code posted below:
from matplotlib.dates
import (HOURS_PER_DAY, MIN_PER_HOUR, SEC_PER_MIN,MONTHS_PER_YEAR,
DAYS_PER_WEEK,SEC_PER_HOUR, SEC_PER_DAY,num2date, rrulewrapper,
YearLocator,MicrosecondLocator)
import alpaca_backtrader_api
import backtrader as bt
from datetime import datetime
#import matplotlib
ALPACA_API_KEY = "XXXXX"
ALPACA_SECRET_KEY = "XXXX"
ALPACA_PAPER = True
class SmaCross(bt.SignalStrategy):
def init(self):
sma1, sma2 = bt.ind.SMA(period=10), bt.ind.SMA(period=30)
crossover = bt.ind.CrossOver(sma1, sma2)
self.signal_add(bt.SIGNAL_LONG, crossover)
cerebro = bt.Cerebro()
cerebro.addstrategy(SmaCross)
store = alpaca_backtrader_api.AlpacaStore( key_id=ALPACA_API_KEY,secret_key=ALPACA_SECRET_KEY,paper=ALPACA_PAPER)
if not ALPACA_PAPER:
broker = store.getbroker() # or just alpaca_backtrader_api.AlpacaBroker()
cerebro.setbroker(broker)
DataFactory = store.getdata # or use alpaca_backtrader_api.AlpacaData
data0 = DataFactory(dataname='AAPL', historical=True, fromdate=datetime(2015, 1, 1), timeframe=bt.TimeFrame.Days)
cerebro.adddata(data0)
print('Starting Portfolio Value: %.2f' % cerebro.broker.getvalue())
cerebro.run()
print('Final Portfolio Value: %.2f' % cerebro.broker.getvalue())
cerebro.plot()
Downgrade to matplotlib 3.2.2 until the bug in backtrader is fixed.
Here is the fix pull request: https://github.com/mementum/backtrader/pull/418.
pip uninstall matplotlib # or conda
pip install matplotlib==3.2.2
I suffered the same problem like you did, your link provided has the perfect solution. just get rid of warnings from locator.py
https://community.backtrader.com/topic/981/importerror-cannot-import-name-min_per_hour-when-trying-to-plot/8
I couldn't install matplotlib==3.2.2 nor the patch without uninstalling backtrader first.
So, this worked for me in the end:
Uninstall backtrader:
pip uninstall backtrader
Install the patch provided in the above solution:
pip install git+https://github.com/mementum/backtrader.git#0fa63ef4a35dc53cc7320813f8b15480c8f85517#egg=backtrader
If necessary, install matplotlib again:
pip install matplotlib
As pointed out above, the issue is addressed in this pull request and the patch is the latest commit to master, but there hasn't been a release since 2019-05.
You can install the patched version like so:
pip install git+https://github.com/mementum/backtrader.git#0fa63ef4a35dc53cc7320813f8b15480c8f85517#egg=backtrader
You could alternatively specify the required commit in requirements.txt like so:
-e git+https://github.com/mementum/backtrader.git#0fa63ef4a35dc53cc7320813f8b15480c8f85517#egg=backtrader
…then pip install -r requirements.txt
After installing with either method, you can confirm the versions installed with pip freeze:
...
backtrader==1.9.76.123

How to install from git
Mac Big Sur
for me it only worked if:
Downgrade python3.9 to python 3.8
then I downgraded matplotlib==3.2.2
For both python 3.8.x and 3.9.x, I solved the problem by using specific version of matplotlib==3.2.2
pip install matplotlib==3.2.2
By default, I used matplotlib==3.4.x version and the problem occured.
All of the above answers are fine. The problem is not with Matplotlib though. The Backtrader library hasn't kept up with the Matplotlib updates. You can do the off-label Backtrader update suggested by Joel Brigate above...or you can make a simple mod to locator.py file (backtrader.plot):
Just change:
from matplotlib.dates import (HOURS_PER_DAY, MIN_PER_HOUR,
SEC_PER_MIN, MONTHS_PER_YEAR, DAYS_PER_WEEK, SEC_PER_HOUR,
SEC_PER_DAY, num2date, rrulewrapper, YearLocator,
MicrosecondLocator, warnings)
to:
from matplotlib import warnings
from matplotlib.dates import (HOURS_PER_DAY, MIN_PER_HOUR, SEC_PER_MIN,
MONTHS_PER_YEAR, DAYS_PER_WEEK, SEC_PER_HOUR,
SEC_PER_DAY, num2date, rrulewrapper,
YearLocator, MicrosecondLocator)
You'll note that the warnings import now comes directly out of matplotlib rather than matplotlib.dates. This is the offending issue within locator.py.
Here is my solution:
python -m pip uninstall matplotlib
python -m pip uninstall backtrader
python -m pip install backtrader
python -m pip install matplotlib==3.2.2
Enjoy!
I could not install matplotlib==3.2.2 with python 3.9 .
Here is how did I fix this issue:
$ pip uninstall backtrader
$ pip install git+https://github.com/mementum/backtrader.git#0fa63ef4a35dc53cc7320813f8b15480c8f85517#egg=backtrader

Mac Big Sur. I did the same: python 3.8.5, uninstall matplotlib, install matplotlib==3.2.2
I'm new at this so I first tried the easy way, through anaconda.org, but could not find version 3.2.2. Then tried it from the Jupyter notebook with conda install... didn't work. I finally did it straight through terminal, which worked fine.
#laffuste solution of downgrading to version 3.2.2 of matplotlib solved the issue for me. PR to fix the issue is still open, you can also follow this forum for more info on the problem:
I'm working in Ubuntu as Virtual-Box guest on top of Windows machine (as host), and I am attempting to run my python script from the terminal. I had difficulty installing matplotlib using pip install. I managed to install it using
sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib
However, I am unable to bring up an image I have created in my code:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import random as random
from random import randrange
image = plt.imshow(mymatrix)
plt.show()
If I import matplotlib as:
import matplotlib as plt
I am recieving the following error on attempting to run the script:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'imshow'
If I import matplotlib as:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
I recieve the following error:
raise ImportError, str(msg) + ', please install the python-tk package'
ImportError: No module named _tkinter, please install the python-tk
package
On attempting to install python-tk using 'pip install python-tk' this is what I'm getting:
~/ising $ pip install python-tk Collecting python-tk Could not find
a version that satisfies the requirement python-tk (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for python-tk
I'm unsure if I have in fact incorrectly installed matplotlib from the beginning. I am aware pyplot is not automatically imported with matplotlib, could the same be true for installing it from the console? Seems like I have tried everything at this stage.
The problem appears to be that you do not have a graphical backend installed. The error you are getting about Python Tk is happening because normally Tk comes with any Python distribution, so you should have at least that. You can install any Python bindings for Tk, Pyqt4, Pyqt5, Wx, GTK, (possibly others) to get a working interactive graphical backend. Check the package repository for the actual package names to install.
Keep in mind that functions like imshow are part of the (sub)package matplotlib.pyplot, not matplotlib itself. import matplotlib as plt is simply wrong if you intend to do plt.imshow(...). The correct import is either from matplotlib import pyplot as plt or import matplotlib.pyplot as plt.
According to the documentation here try this
python -mpip install -U pip
python -mpip install -U matplotlib
I got the developmental version using this in cmd prompt (after uninstalling the old package):
pip install git+git://github.com/mwaskom/seaborn.git#egg=seaborn
Now when I try to import in canopy it still says I am using the old version.
import seaborn as sns
help(sns)
And at the end of the output I get:
VERSION
0.5.1
How do I need to set this up?
I'm on OS X 10.7.5
I am trying to get matplotlib to work on my machine, so I did pip uninstall matplotlib and then tried pip install matplotlib, but it said my NumPy version was out of date -- 1.5, and I needed 1.6.
OK, so I did port install py27-numpy and that seemed to work. But I was still getting the same complaint when I tried to install matplotlib.
Now here's the strange thing. When I do:
import numpy
numpy.version.version
I get 1.5.1. But when I do
import pip
pip.get_installed_distributions()
I see numpy 1.8.0 and matplotlib 1.3.1. Why is my NumPy 1.5.1 in some places, and 1.8.0 in others, and how can I reconcile the two to 1.8.0 so I can install matplotlib correctly?
