I want to use pycharm as ide, however when i import matplotlib.pyplot as plt in the pycharms python console i get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: 'InputHookManager' object has no attribute '_stdin_file'

using ipython in the shell, there is no problem when executing the very same command. I made sure pycharm uses the correct python version as interpreter.

  • If you're using a virtual environment you need to install the matplotlib module through the pycharm console, as the python interpreter is not the same executed by your OS in the default directory, it's a separate one stripped of all the modules you've previously installed. – Michele Bastione Oct 08 '19 at 13:44
  • thanks for your answer, however I doubt whether this is the problem here. Pycharm is able to load matplotlib (without .pyplot), in general. For example `import matplotlib matplotlib.use("Agg") import matplotlib.pyplot as plt` works without an error, but then i cannot use plt.show() – Olmo Oct 08 '19 at 14:00
  • What if you try `from matplotlib import pyplot as plt`? – Michele Bastione Oct 08 '19 at 14:10
  • same error as above :( – Olmo Oct 08 '19 at 14:26
