It says it can't find matplotlib.dates, which is not the same
as saying it can't find matplotlib. I'd check that first

>>> import matplotlib

Does that work?

Are you sure there is a matplotlib.dates in the Python 3 version
of matplotlib?

Also there is a dedicated support community for SciPy, of which
matplotlib is part. You might get more experienced answers there.
