PyPlot stopped working when upgrading to Fedora 37

General Usage

Hello everyone!
I upgraded my system from Fedora 35 to Fedora 37 and the PyPlot package stopped working. There are many error messages when I run using PyPlot, suggesting that the matplotlib library may not be installed, but it is installed. Has anyone experienced this and managed to solve it?

Try;

using Pkg
ENV["PYTHON"]=""
Pkg.build("PyCall")

The next time you import PyPlot, it will tell Conda to install Matplotlib.

So it will use a Python installation that is separate from the Fedora Python version.

Can this be reversed later?

Well, if you want to use the system version of Python you can just do:

using Pkg
Pkg.build("PyCall")

On GNU/Linux systems, PyCall will default to using the python3 program (if any, otherwise python) in your PATH.
