New to Julia so possibly getting something all wrong here. When the Julia (1.10.0) script reaches Pyplot.show (line 107) the following exception is thrown. Laptop has Python 3.9.16 and Conda 23.1.0 installed.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance,  
Rami

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

Are you using MKL.jl in Julia? You may be seeing a conflict between the MKL library linked by Numpy and the one linked by Julia (which may not use the same ABI). A simple workaround in that case would be to not use MKL.jl, and just use the default OpenBLAS libraryl.

Shared library conflicts are a notorious pain (“[DLL Hell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DLL_Hell)”).

Thank you, but to be honest i would not know whether or not i am using MKL.jl? How do i check this? And if i do, how do refrain from using it and revert to default?

Cheers

Could you provide the output of the following commands in the Julia REPL?

```julia-repl
julia> using Pkg

julia> pkg"status"

julia> pkg"status -m"

```

If you want to try to do a simple test try this.

```julia-repl
julia> using Pkg

julia> pkg"activate --temp"

julia> pkg"add PyPlot"

```

Alternately there is also PythonPlot.jl

```julia-repl
julia> using Pkg

julia> pkg"activate --temp"

julia> pkg"add PythonPlot"

```

Thank you, there you go (looks like PyPlot is there)

I’m actually more interested in what else is in your environment.

Is that the full output of `pkg"status"`?

I’m afraid this is the full output of the two command pkg"status" and pkg"status -m"

I do not see MKL loaded on the Julia side, but perhaps there is another issue. Could you try PythonPlot.jl?

Played with the code this morning and with PythonPlot there is no exception and graphs are being output as eaxpected. Thank you! 👌

I got the same error messages after doing `Conda.update()`. (Worked fine until then.)

In the end, the only way to get around it was to ditch Conda and instead define `ENV["PYTHON"]` to point to the Anaconda distribution (which has always existed on this machine).
