matplotlib venn install on windows

Question

I've been trying to import matplotlib-venn into my ipynb, and I cannot do it. I installed the package and get the following:

I did pip install and easy install, and each time I go to load it onto my ipynb I get the following:

    ModuleNotFoundError                       Traceback (most recent call last)

    ----> 9 from matplotlib_venn import venn3
         10 
         11 #Imports CSV

I'm on a windows 10 machine, and it's not loading nor can I find any way to get it to load.

This isn't a solution, but a step-around. You're trying to install matplotlib-venn into what looks like your windows directory structure, rather than through your python kernel.

I've had success installing it directly into a jupyter notebook running on an ephemeral, linux-based cluster. That common environment might work better than a general install since a jupyter notebook uses an ipython kernel which should behave the same regardless of underlying os, but it's not exactly the answer.

From within Jupyter:

!easy_install matplotlib-venn
!conda config --add channels conda-forge
!conda config --set channel_priority strict
!conda install matplotlib-venn

import matplotlib_venn as mpv
