Importing cocopp disables matplotlib plots

[oskargirardin]

In a jupyter notebook, after importing cocopp, matplotlib-plots cannot be shown anymore. We get the following error:

>>> import cocopp
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> plt.plot([1,2])
>>> plt.show()
UserWarning: FigureCanvasAgg is non-interactive, and thus cannot be shown plt.show()

A quick fix is to run %matplotlib inline before plotting as such:

>>> import cocopp
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> %matplotlib inline
>>> plt.plot([1,2])
>>> plt.show()

I am using versions cocopp == 2.7.3 and matplotilib == 3.10.0.

Calling

cocopp.config.mpl.use('TkAgg')  # is matplotlib.use(...)

may help too.
