Seaborn plots not showing up

Question

I\'m sure I\'m forgetting something very simple, but I cannot get certain plots to work with Seaborn.

If I do:

import seaborn as sns

To tell from the style of your code snippet, I suppose you were using IPython rather than Jupyter Notebook.

In this issue on GitHub, it was made clear by a member of IPython in 2016 that the display of charts would only work when "only work when it's a Jupyter kernel". Thus, the %matplotlib inline would not work.

I was just having the same issue and suggest you use Jupyter Notebook for the visualization.
