Exception thrown in PyCharm debug mode but not in run mode (seaborn, matplotlib)

Question

I'm using

• PyCharm 2021.2.3 Community Edition
• Python interpreter 3.10.0
• matplotlib 3.5.0
• seaborn 0.11.2
• numpy 1.21.4
• pandas 1.3.4
• PySimpleGUI 4.55.1

When I run the following script, it is fine in run mode but in debug mode it throws an exception. Here's the script:

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import PySimpleGUI as sg
import seaborn as sns

from matplotlib.backends.backend_tkagg import FigureCanvasTkAgg
from matplotlib.figure import Figure


def init_data():
    r1 = np.random.rand(5, 4)
    columns = [f"var{i}" for i in range(1, 5)]
    df = pd.DataFrame(r1, columns=columns)
    df.insert(0, 'year', range(2021, 2026))
    df.insert(1, 'scenario', 'test1')
    ldf = pd.melt(df, id_vars=['year', 'scenario'], value_vars=columns, var_name='percentile', value_name='carbon')
    return ldf


def draw_figure(canvas, figure):
    figure_canvas_agg = FigureCanvasTkAgg(figure, canvas)
    figure_canvas_agg.draw()
    figure_canvas_agg.get_tk_widget().pack(side='top', fill='both', expand=1)
    return figure_canvas_agg


# define the window layout
layout = [[sg.Text('Plot test')],
          [sg.Canvas(key='-CANVAS-')],
          [sg.Button('Ok')]]

# create the form and show it without the plot
window = sg.Window('Testing seaborn in PySimpleGUI', layout, finalize=True,
                   element_justification='center', font='Helvetica 18')

figure = Figure()
ax = figure.subplots()
sns.lineplot(x='year', y='carbon', hue='percentile', data=init_data(), ax=ax)

# add the plot to the window
fig_canvas_agg = draw_figure(window['-CANVAS-'].TKCanvas, figure)

event, values = window.read()

window.close()

And here's the stacktrace:

Has anyone seen this before or have any ideas?

Answer 1

I had the same issue until I changed my version of python from 3.10 to 3.9.5.

Answer 2

This did the ugly trick for debugging under pyCharm 2022.1.1, python 3.10.4, scipy=1.8.0 numpy=1.22.3 pandas=1.4.1

AK lame handling of debugg issue with numpy vs pandas/scipy np.core.numeric.dtype

if sys.gettrace(): np.core.numeric.dtype = np.dtype
