Ran 185 tests in 183.531s


FAILED (errors=2)


Before this I got the import error "No module named cycler" so I installed
the module by "sudo pip install cycler   "  and then it showed no
functools32 so I did "udo pip install functools32"  and it gave me the
above errors.  My guess is that the problem is caused by the default Python
on Mac and I should use a different Python (e.g. Anaconda) ?   Does anyone
have an idea how to solve this problem?


Thank you,
Panu
