Can you help modules to work ?

As I don’t know what computer system you are using (the OS aside), I’ve no idea if this is an option:

Could you not run a VM (such as Oracle VM VirtualBox v6.1), then run a lightweight Linux distro on the VM? This I suggest, because I’m running Python 3.6.9 (on a native Linux platform) and have little to no issues. One exception: I can’t use tensorflow, but I’m not getting the issue that you describe here.

Sorry; scrub that: you need a 64-bit host OS. Maybe (and it’s just a thought, with no research done) the issue is that you’re running a 32-bit OS?

OS named in the subject line
Ok, Windows 7, 32-bit is old but declared to support Python 3.8
so downloaded and installed
Matplotlib installed nice, claiming nothing

Matplotlib forum is generally down to get any reply.

Ok, I can switch to Windows 10, 64-bit PC, but I need to switch monitor, keyboard, mouse forth and back
(no room for 2 monitors , 2 keyboards, 2 mouses on my busy desk :wink:

thank you
