Matplotlib.pyplot 2.0.0b2 fails to import with Conda Python 3.5 on OS X #6746
Description
I installed the Matplotlib 2.0.0 beta 2 from PyPi with pip on OS X 10.11.5 using Conda Python 3.5. It appeared to install from a wheel rather than building from source. Importing matplotlib.pyplot raises
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Traceback (most recent call last):

RuntimeError: Python is not installed as a framework. The Mac OS X backend will not be able to function correctly if Python is not installed as a framework. See the Python documentation for more information on installing Python as a framework on Mac OS X. Please either reinstall Python as a framework, or try one of the other backends.

There is no problem using a conda installed Matplotlib 1.5.1.
