[Matplotlib-users] default cmap in ver. 2.0

[Benjamin Root]

in situations like this, the most common reason is that you aren't actually
loading the matplotlib you think you are running. I would double-check by
doing:

import matplotlib
print(matplotlib.__version__)

Another trick I use is to type: "pydoc matplotlib" and see what it picked
up.
