Error when importing PyLab on 64 - bit windows and Python

So I got numpy, scipy, IPython, and matplotlib working (I can import all four with "import _____)". However, I cannot get pylab to work. I've was under the impression that if I had the above I'd be able to import pylab. I wish I could understand these errors; they look like babel to me. Can anyone tell me what's wrong? Any help is appreciated.

My error is as follows:

>>> from pylab import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
    from pylab import *
  File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\pylab.py", line 1, in <module>
    from matplotlib.pylab import *
  File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\pylab.py", line 222, in <module>
    from matplotlib import mpl  # pulls in most modules
  File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl.py", line 3, in <module>
    from matplotlib import axes
  File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\axes.py", line 21, in <module>
    import matplotlib.dates as mdates
  File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\dates.py", line 122, in <module>
    from dateutil.rrule import rrule, MO, TU, WE, TH, FR, SA, SU, YEARLY, \
  File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\dateutil\rrule.py", line 18, in <module>
    from six import advance_iterator, integer_types
ImportError: No module named six

I'm using matplotlib 1.2.x. here's the link: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#ipython

Its not an error message I've seen before, but six is a package which provides 2to3 support for Python versions.

You can get hold of six from here.

It is usually installed as part of "base". There is a Windows "base" package.

You can fix your problem by installing Python 2.x The graphing library Matplotlib doesn't support Python 3.x . Few libraries do.

While version 3.0 was released four years ago, most users are better using Python 2.x because the community has yet to adopt 3.x universally. The Python devs say so themselves. Yes, this is embarrassing :\
