Description

Hi! Thanks for the work, Ive recently tried you guys' packages. I found the exception message in the plot.py:31 is kind of unclear, it would be better to assign Exception to a variable and insert that inside ImportError's exception message. Should I make a pull request on this? Thanks

Research direction

Start at plot.py:31 and read the surrounding import handling to understand the current exception message. Update the message so the relevant exception detail is clearer, then verify the resulting ImportError behavior; the issue does not name a test to run.
