matplotlib doesn't show plot in docker - matplotlib

I was running into this error:
UserWarning: Matplotlib is currently using agg, which is a non-GUI backend, so cannot show the figure.
However, even if I added:
matplotlib.use('TkAgg')
in my script, plt.show() would still not work.

The issue was, in one of my imported files, I was calling:
matplotlib.use('Agg')
Once a GUI backend is loaded, apparently it cannot be changed without issues.
After commenting out:
matplotlib.use('Agg')
In my import, everything works as intended.

How to fix matplotlib.pyplot problem in installed matplotlib in python

I am new in python and last month I have installed matplotlib module in my python and using that I have also done some codes successfully. But now suddenly I don't know why my matlpotlib module is not working. When I write "import matplotlib.pyplot as plt" it shows the error "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'matplotlib.pyplot'; 'matplotlib' is not a package" and the codes that was done before are also not working and showing the same error."import matplotlib" statement works properly in command prompt and IDLE. What am I suppose to do to solve this problem?

NameError: name 'python' is not defined when importing part of tensorflow's deeplab module

Thanks to this github issue, I realise that I shouldn't try to reload tensorflow, because I get this error:
del python
NameError: name 'python' is not defined
when I do
import tensorflow
from deeplab import common
In case it's relevant, import deeplab works fine.
I saw elsewhere that it's probably the IPython session in spyder that is keeping a tensorflow session open. So I closed spyder - but launching python in the shell gave me the same issue. ps -ef | grep -E 'py|tensorflow|tensorboard|tf' came up empty. What could still be hanging around and causing tensorflow to try a reload, rather than a fresh load?
I understand that the issue around reloading tensorflow will not be resolved. How do I make sure that I have cleared everything from my previous runs so that it will be a fresh load rather than a reload?
Edit: even after restarting the computer I get the same error. Even if the first thing I do is open a python console and type from deeplab import common. That means the original title to my question is probably wrong, so I have changed it.

import matplotlib.pyplot crashes on jupyter notebook

I have a jupyter notebook running on a remote cluster to which I have set up an ssh tunnel. Everything was working fine till today. Now everytime I do :
import matplotlib # This works
%matplotlib inline # This causes kernel to restart
import matplotlib.pyplot # This also causes the kernel to restart
Running a standalone ipython interpreter and doing :
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('agg')
import matplotlib.pyplot ## Leads to Core dumped : Segementation Fault
Running the same on a python interpreter works fine.
Jupyter version : 4.1.1
Python version : 2.7.7
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank You
Often, this kind of error seems to be related to the backend. Have you tried any other backends? Do these result in the same error? Like this we could narrow down the source of the error.
(I don't have a remote cluster, so I can not reproduce it.)
You can find available backends as described here.
I perhaps have the same problem but on my local machine. I got into jupyter3-qtconsole 4.2.1 with Python 3.4.5 and IPython 5.0.0. and enter
`%matplotlib
Using matplotlib backend: Qt4Agg`
the error message (shortened):
File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/tornado/ioloop.py", line 603, in _run_callback
ret = callback()
and finally
from IPython.core.interactiveshell import NoOpContext as context
ImportError: cannot import name 'NoOpContext'
Same thing happens in a notebook but in a straightforward IPython terminal, everything runs OK
Hope this is helpful to someone

OMP warning when numpy 1.8.0 is packaged with py2exe

import numpy
When I packaged above one line script as a single executable window application using py2exe, I get following warnings upon launch.
OMP: Warning #178: Function GetModuleHandleEx failed:
OMP: System error #126: The specified module could not be found.
This warning happen only when I build as single executable (i.e., only when bundle_files=1). Here's my setup.py for this.
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(
options = {'py2exe': {'bundle_files': 1}},
windows=['testnumpy.py'],
zipfile = None,
)
This problem started with numpy 1.8.0. When I revert back to 1.6.2, the warnings don't show up.
Usually a single executable packaged by py2exe will catch warnings and traceback and save them into a log file. But somehow these warnings are not captured and the app creates a console window to show warning. I want to suppress this additional console window to show up.
How can I fix this warning problem?
What I tried (nothing worked):
I tried this redirecting sys.stderr.
I searched github numpy source for openMP assuming the OMP stands for it as mentioned here. But, nothing useful came out.
I have copied libiomp5md.dll to the same folder as setup.py.
I tried filterwarnings:
I tried sys.excepthook.
As I wrote in the comment, installing numpy 1.8.1rc1 from sourceforge did fix the issue, although I don't really know the differences...
I had this issue with numpy 1.13.1+mkl and scipy 1.19.1. Reverting to numpy 1.8.1rc1 is not an acceptable solution.
I tracked this issue to the scipy.integrate subpackage. The warning message pops up when this package is imported. It seems that perhaps libraries that use MKL don't like being invoked from library.zip, which is where py2exe places packages when using bundle option 2.
The solution is to exclude scipy and numpy in the py2exe setup script and copy their entire package folders into the distribution directory and add that directory to the system path at the top of the main python script.

Matplotlib wxWidget plot missing button images on Cygwin

Screenshot:
What can be cause for this issue: is it Cygwin issue, or wx/wxPython issue, or Matplotlib issue?
Other than this error popping about missing button images on every plot, everything works fine
Day after: As I compiled wx to use native Windows graphic interface (no need to install X server and gtk) it's basically Windows compile (not Cygwin compile) so it does not understand Cygwin POSIX paths while Cygwin packages can use it.
It's not just MPL that has problems this way but any wx package that passes Cygwin resource as filename to wx. One workaround is to pass python object instead path, so for above example this can be workaround like this:
Matplotlib uses _load_bitmap(filename as str) function to pass those buttons graphics to wx through wx.Bitmap(filename). Patching backend_wx.py like this:
# bmp = wx.Bitmap(bmpFilename)
wxf = open(bmpFilename, 'rb')
bmp = wx.BitmapFromImage(wx.ImageFromStream(wxf, wx.BITMAP_TYPE_ANY))
wxf.close()
resolves this for Matplotlib and runs without issues
I'm interested in more robust solution that would work for all wx applications
