I am using a Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10.5 and I am trying to practice data science with python on my laptop. I am using python 3.5.1 on a virtualenv however when I install pandas and matplotlib seems like both of them are having a conflict when trying to be imported. Both has same error and the output is:
>>> import matplotlib
