matplotlib crashing Python

Question

I\'m new to Python and matplotlib. A simple script I wrote is crashing and I was able to reproduce the crash with the following code:

import matplotlib.pyplo         


        

Answer 1

For macOS, just make sure that

~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc contains:

backend: MacOSX

You don't need the other backends unless you specifically want them. Alternatively, perhaps you can do:

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use("MacOSX")

though I have not tested that.
