matplotlib issue question #80
Description
I'm trying a very simple example with matplotlib to make a plot in the pyodide environment. TL;DR, I get this error with matplotlib:
cannot import name 'maxdict' from 'matplotlib.cbook' (/lib/python3.12/site-packages/matplotlib/cbook.py)
Here's more detail about what I did.
I wrote a qmd file with the following content and ran it with quarto preview:
---
title: "test quarto live"
format: live-html
---
The embedded code must run from a server, not an html file, so use `quarto preview`
This is a Quarto website testing the https://github.com/r-wasm/quarto-live extension.

```{pyodide}
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib
print(matplotlib.__version__)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
#ax.plot([1,3,2])
```
Here's a screenshot of the output I get:
I installed quarto-live with
quarto add r-wasm/quarto-liveThe _extension.yml file says version 0.2.1-dev
Here's the output of quarto check

the matplotlib version installed with pyodide and quarto-live appears to be 3.8.4. This issue with matplotlib indicates that maxdict was deprecated and removed with Matplotlib v 3.6, so this sounds like a versioning issue, but I'm completely new to quarto-live and pyodide and don't know much about how to debug anything,and I don't know how versioning is managed, so this may be an upsteam issue with pyodide.
