<div dir="ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div>Suddenly my yt distribution seems to be broken because it cannot find the module sip. Sip appears to be a python/C interface that is called by matplotlib.pyplot. I have tried a few things to resolve the issue, none of which have worked. I&#39;ve tried: yt update --all, pip install sip, and apt-get install yt using the repository mentioned on the Get YT page. pip install and apt-get install fail for separate reasons, which I can explain in a future email if necessary.</div>

<div><br></div><div>Since first encountering this problem, I have updated my OS because I realized I was using an outdated version of Ubuntu. I am now running Ubuntu 12.4 LTS. The OS update did not resolve the issue.</div>

<div><br></div><div>It seems worth mentioning that the default system python distribution is working fine and I am able to import pyplot as well as sip without a problem. During a quick search of the yt distribution, I did not find the same sip related files that I have in my system&#39;s python distribution. </div>

<div><br></div><div>Also, as of Friday, things are working fine with the yt distribution I have on my Mac laptop.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks very much in advance for your help. Please let me know if you would like me to post some of the error messages I have received from the few solutions that I&#39;ve tried.</div>
