Installation doesn't work for me

I don't know how to diagnose this really, but I have ran sudo pip install itermplot which installs to /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages on my system. My package path contains this directory

In [5]: sys.path
Out[5]:
['',
 '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/bin',
 '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python35.zip',
 '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5',

 '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages/IPython/extensions',
 '/Users/Rasmus/.ipython']

I have also exported the MLPBACKEND var:

echo $MPLBACKEND
module://itermplot

Still, when trying to run a script with plotting, I get an import error stating that the itermplot module was not found. How can I diagnose this?

I'm having the same issue

EDIT: as a temporary fix, you can place the itermplot.py file in the directory where pip installs stuff. That worked for me. (I think setup.py isn't quite doing everything it needs to)

Nice. Can someone tell me how to access config parameters relating to this backend in my ipython_kernel_config.py? For the matplolib inline backend I would use

c = get_config()
c.InlineBackend.rc = {'figure.figsize': (10,10) }

but what do I do to increase the size of my figures in iTerm?
