Just as a complement of Reinout's answer.

The permanent way to solve this kind of problem is to edit .matplotlibrc file. Find it via

>>> import matplotlib
>>> matplotlib.matplotlib_fname()
# This is the file location in Ubuntu
'/etc/matplotlibrc'

Then modify the backend in that file to backend : Agg. That is it.
