I want to try out the new .xkcd() function for matplotlib as shown here http://matplotlib.org/xkcd/examples/showcase/xkcd.html but it is not working because I think it only works for matplotlib 1.3. So I'm wondering how I would update to matplotlib 1.3. I tried

easy_install matplotlib

but that did not seem to work. Alternatively, if there is a way to use .xkcd() without updating, that would answer my question as well. Also, I am using windows.

    Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages has matplotlib 1.3 for Windows. Can't say I've tried that specific package, but others from that site have worked perfectly when I needed windows packages. Commented Sep 24, 2013 at 19:41

    Note: The site I linked above is good for all sorts of python packages for windows, but as Steve Barnes points out in his answer, matplotlib offers official packages for windows, which should of course be preferred. Commented Sep 24, 2013 at 19:49
  • Thanks I have used that site before but I had forgotten about it Commented Sep 24, 2013 at 19:54
  • Better yet it is a different page on the same site as the example that is given above. Commented Sep 24, 2013 at 21:57
