Problem in using PyPlot in Julia

[Demaria00]

I have a problem using PyPlot in a Julia code. When I write "using PyPlot" goes well, but when I try to plot something it does not work and it continues to compile and compile without stopping. I tries the to test the package from the command window and the result is the following

I'm currently using Version 1.10.0 (2023-12-25).

How can I fix the problem?

For sure I will be very happy if you can give me a resolution about the problema.

Thanks a lot!

I'm not debugging right now, but consider: "See also PythonPlot.jl for a version of PyPlot.jl using the alternative PythonCall.jl package."

It's a drop-in replacement, and maybe time to deprecate PyPlot... It see it (its test) use "deprecated"/warn, though I think the ERROR unrelated. It tests ok for me:

PyPlot is working fine for me on Windows 10 and on Linux, better than PythonPlot.

Did you try:

mkdir MyProject
cd MyProject
julia --project="."
using Pkg
ENV["PYTHON"]=""
pkg"add PyPlot"

quit Julia, restart it with julia --project and then create a plot?
