Psychopy can import matplotlib but can't import pyplot though it's on my Mac

I'm having problems importing pyplot into psychopy on my MacBook running OS X Yosemite. I have psychopy v1.82.01 installed.

My program contains: import matplotlib (which works) and from matplotlib import pyplot (which gives the following error):

ImportError: dlopen(/Applications/PsychoPy2.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/matplotlib/ft2font.so, 2): Library not loaded: /usr/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib Referenced from: /Applications/PsychoPy2.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/matplotlib/ft2font.so Reason: image not found

But I DO have pyplot.py on the Mac here: /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/matplotlib/pyplot.py

How do I get psychopy to import it from this other folder?

Thanks, Philip

Matlotlib (at least some parts of it I guess) depend on this font library which is distributed as part of X11 (now known as XQuartz) so try installing XQuartz from here and see if that fixes it: xquartz.macosforge.org
