The issue is that you have a dis.py in your current directory (File "/home/artivatic/Documents/Santhosh/data/ori_data/dis.py", line 1, in) that is shadowing the built in dis module. We import dis (via inspect) in matplotlib/__init__.py, your dis then import matplotlib.pyplot which tries to get things out of the matplotlib module before it has finished setting it's self up.
The solution is to run python from a path that does not have files that shadow the standard library.
I am going to close this because there is nothing we can do at the Matplotlib level to avoid this problem.

i have the same problem, uninstall matplotlib and then install again.
