I have described the error message I got when I recently installed Python 3.5.0 (via Anaconda3) and then subsequently tried to import mathplotlib.pyplot and seaborn packages at this StackOverflow post (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34004063/error-on-import-matplotlib-pyplot-on-anaconda3-for-windows-10-home-64-bit-pc)

Another person responded to the above post with a simple 1-line patch to the file "fontList.py3k.cache" (please see the above post for details).

This does appear to be a purely Python 3 issue on some Windows platforms. It would be nice if Python 3 developers could check the patch out for any possible side-effects, and incorporate a permanent fix in future versions.  Thanks.
