title: PyPlot in Julia giving "no module named site" error
body: <p>I have started playing with Julia today. I was following <a href="https://github.com/stevengj/julia-mit/" rel="nofollow">Steven's</a> MIT turorials to get started. However, when I reached the Plotting section I tried importing PyPlot with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>using PyPlot
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>however it gave me the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ImportError: No module named site
  
  WARNING: backtraces on your platform are often misleading or partially incorrect
  
  could not load module python: The specified module could not be found.
  
  at C:\Users\Dipto\.julia\PyPlot\src\PyPlot.jl:32
  at In[1]:1
  in pyinitialize at C:\Users\Dipto\.julia\PyCall\src\PyCall.jl:406
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I use Canopy as my Python installation, so all modules required by pyplot should already be available on the machine.</p>
  
  <p>N.B. As indicated in the tutorial I did use Pkg.add("PyPlot") in Julia to install pyplot in Julia as well.</p>
