I am wondering if any of you use matplotlib for your python codes that are coupled with abaqus. I really want to load matplotlib onto the abaqus-python interface. I'm using abaqus 6.12, which has python 2.6. Also, I'm using Windows 64 bit.

However, when I download the matplotlib for python 2.6, it fails to install and says that "Python 2.6 is not found in the Registry". Could anyone help me out? Does anyone know of a step-by-step way to install matplotlib such that it works for Abaqus 6.12?

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
