Make sure to use matplotlib-1.4.2.win32-py2.7.exe if you have installed 
python-2.7.x.msi (32 bit).

Matplotlib requires extra Python packages. See 
<http://matplotlib.org/users/installing.html#windows>.

In case you have Python 2.7.9 and numpy installed you can easily install 
matplotlib and all required packages with pip:

   C:\Python27\Scripts\pip.exe install matplotlib
