pyplot crushes Julia [BUG]

[hurricane007]

I accidentally uninstalled miniconda, then reinstalled everything back but got this bug. Then I deleted all the packages (delete the whole folder) and reinstalled everything. Plots.jl was installed in v1.6.8, it was another error.

Then ]update Plots updated it to v1.15.2. by ] add Plots@1.23.5, the Plots.jl was updated to the latest version, but the bug came back:

Details

julia> pyplot()
Plots.PyPlotBackend()

julia> plot(sin, 1:0.1:10)

Please submit a bug report with steps to reproduce this fault, and any error messages that follow (in their entirety). Thanks.
