When I try and execute 'ipython' from Linux shell by typing 'ipython' at the command prompt, it gives me the following message-

Error processing line 1 of /home/user_name/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/matplotlib-2.2.3-py3.6-nspkg.pth:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site.py", line 174, in addpackage exec(line) File "", line 1, in File "", line 568, in module_from_spec AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'loader'

Remainder of file ignored Python 3.6.7 (default, Oct 22 2018, 11:32:17) Type 'copyright', 'credits' or 'license' for more information IPython 6.4.0 -- An enhanced Interactive Python. Type '?' for help.

I have a Linux x86_64 Ubuntu OS [18.04] system. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Thanks!

No exact idea. I have Ubuntu 18.04, too, and I use Python 3.7.1. You can try it:

$ sudo apt-get install python3.7
$ python3.7 -m pip ipython
$ python3.7 -m pip matplotlib
$ python3.7 -m pip numpy
