     Other possible modules matches:
        matplotlib-env

Names marked by a trailing (E) are extensions provided by another module.

  To find other possible module matches execute:

      $ module -r spider '.*matplotlib.*'

  For detailed information about a specific "matplotlib" package (including how to load the modules) use the module's full name.
  Note that names that have a trailing (E) are extensions provided by other modules.
  For example:

If there are multiple versions of matplotlib listed, then you can load a specific version as follows:

$ module load matplotlib/version_string

You can find the most up to date information whilst logged on to Comet by running module -r spider ^matplotlib$.
