[julia-users] Re: Broken PyPlot... need to revert to a previous version asap.
There seems to be some breakage right now in Anaconda from their switch from Qt4 to Qt5. Updating to PyCall and PyPlot master, and forcing the Qt4Agg backend (e.g. with ENV["MPLBACKEND"]="Qt4Agg") should work.

Dear all, sorry for not replying before but I've been very busy lately... Still I wanted to report back here. While I found some of teh previous solutions to work, I finally found out there was a bad interaction between Anaconda's Python and julia. SImply got rid of Anaconda and then reinstalled julia 0.5.0 and PyPlot and that worked out well again :) Thanks for your kind help, Ferran.

Please file an issue to the package and provide details. I'm not a OSX user (and also not pyplot), but recently it looked like the main problems (of packages of this style) are in the area of interactions between OSX and the python packaging/distribution mechanism(s) (Conda, Ananconda, brew etc.). So actually the situation is different at every computer, because it contains the history of all (re-)configurations.
Re: [julia-users] Re: Broken PyPlot... need to revert to a previous version asap.
Have you tried the latest master?
Pkg.checkout("PyPlot", "master")
Otherwise revert to an older version and try that. I think from within
Julia you'd have to edit the REQUIRE file (or is there an easier way?).
Probably ~/.julia/v0.5/REQUIRE or ~/.julia/v0.4/REQUIRE, modify the line
with PyPlot. For example:
PyPlot 2.1.0 2.2.0
to get version 2.1.0 installed. To actually install it run
Pkg.resolve() at the julia prompt. Other packages may be downgraded
too. Also, you may run into problems with required version from other
packages.
Alternatively, and less safe, cd into ~/.julia/v0.5/PyPlot and there run
in the shell
$ git checkout v2.2.0
Then check whether PyPlot works again.
I hope this helps.

Nobody is using PyPlot under OSX, please? Best, Ferran.

Hi, it seems that PyPlot is still broken in 0.5.0 and OSX, at least Mavericks... Anybody else has faced this problem? If yes, how can I solve it? If not, what versions of PyCall/PyPlot are you using? The ones I was told to use here still work, but spit quite a lot of warnings etc... and it is not clean. Thanks a lot, Ferran.

At Github :) https://github.com/stevengj/PyCall.jl/issues/new for PyCall or https://github.com/stevengj/PyPlot.jl/issues/new for PyPlot On Thursday, August 18, 2016 at 9:42:49 PM UTC+2, Ferran Mazzanti wrote: > > Yes of course... how do I do that? > Thanks, > Ferran. > > On Thursday, August 18, 2016 at 8:29:08 PM UTC+2, Steven G.

Yes of course... how do I do that? Thanks, Ferran. On Thursday, August 18, 2016 at 8:29:08 PM UTC+2, Steven G. Johnson wrote: > > Please file an issue if the latest version of PyCall (or PyPlot) is > failing for you. >

Please file an issue if the latest version of PyCall (or PyPlot) is failing for you.
[julia-users] Re: Broken PyPlot... need to revert to a previous version asap.
Hi again,
thanks all of you for the replies. And specially to Bart, who gave me the
precise information. I just did:
Pkg.pin("PyCall",v"1.4.0")
Pkg.pin("PyPlot",v"2.1.1")
Pkg.build("PyPlot")
and from there
using PyPlot
did the trick :)
Cheers,
Ferran.
[julia-users] Re: Broken PyPlot... need to revert to a previous version asap.
Pkg.pin(packageName, version) should force a package at a particular version. Unfortunately, depending on how package dependencies have been set up, older versions of the package might still be happy to work with newer versions of the dependencies, and that might trigger the bug you are seeing. PyCall however has only a handful of dependencies, so it should not be to difficult to do this manually, recursively for all its dependencies.

You can use Pkg.checkout("package-name","version/branch") (read:
http://docs.julialang.org/en/release-0.4/stdlib/pkg/#Base.Pkg.checkout)
Unfortunately you need to do this not only on the package itself, but also
on the dependencies.
I recommend to open an issue on
https://github.com/stevengj/PyPlot.jl/issues and browse there, if your
specific error situation already has a workaround.
