This little program:

```julia
using PythonPlot

x = [1,2]
y = [2,3]

fig1 = pyplot.figure()
ax1 = fig1.add_subplot(1, 1, 1)
ax1.plot(x,y, '.', markersize=10)
ax1.plot(x,y,'-')

```

gives :

I want to use what I would have done in python:

```julia
using PythonPlot

x = [1,2]
y = [2,3]

fig1 = pyplot.figure()
ax1 = fig1.add_subplot(1, 1, 1)

color = next(ax1._get_lines.prop_cycler)["color"]

ax1.plot(x,y, '.', markersize=10, color=color)
ax1.plot(x,y,'-', color=color)

```

In particular i use this syntax as the real usecase is inside a loop cycle, so i need to iterate over all the different default colors.

It throws this error:

```julia
ERROR: LoadError: Python: AttributeError: '_process_plot_var_args' object has no attribute 'prop_cycler'

I could cycle over  
`color = ["tab:blue", "tab:orange", "tab:green", "tab:red", "tab:purple", "tab:brown", "tab:pink", "tab:gray", "tab:olive", "tab:cyan"]`
