That makes sense. The agg backend is a non graphical backend intended for
saving image output. I don't know why this is the default one on your
system.
if you start your python session with:
```
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('TkAgg')
...
```
You will select the TkAgg backend which is interacti
I get:
>>> plt.show()
>>> import matplotlib

Can you try to check which backend you are using
Do something like
>>> import matplotlib
>>> matplotlib.get_backend()

You're missing a pair of parentheses. Without it, you're just referring to
the function itself.
plt.show()

plt.show is a function. You are not calling it just displaying it. Try
