I'm having an issue in pycharm while running my debugger : "AttributeError: module 'IPython' has no attribute 'get_ipython'"
The problem is that I don't know what IPython is, I'm not using it, and when i clink on the first link in the error log, I arrive in a file that is not even mine.
More, if I run my code without debugger, this error do not appear.
Here is the full trace :
It looks like this come from matplotlip but it doesn't really help me.
Thank you for any help
I'm also very annoyed about this bug so I tried some stuff and found a workaround (not clean though...).
I work with venv environments so I just changed the file/code which throws the error.
Go to backend_bases.py. For me it's: \venv\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backend_bases.py. Or just click on the last stacktrace.
In line 1744 you find this code:
if sys.modules.get("IPython") is None:
return
Change it and add an else: return statement.
if sys.modules.get("IPython") is None:
return
else:
return
When running without debugger the code does the same so I think that's ok. I don't get an error anymore with this change.
So, I finally resolve it.
I valid the answer of Andrej because he's method was good, directly modify the matplotlib files in the venv, but my file was a bit different from his one.
In my file, the code around line 1713 looked like this.
import IPython
ip = IPython.get_ipython()
if not ip:
return
I simply replace it by this:
import IPython
if hasattr(IPython, "get_ipython"):
ip = IPython.get_ipython()
else:
return
if not ip:
return
To make sure the function exist before to call it.
This was finally so simple, I was just scare to edit my venv by myself ^^.
Thx a lot
