Error in atexit._run_exitfuncs

I am running matplotlib 1.3.1 under Ubuntu 13 and python3.
Everything works fine, but I get this message every time:

  Error in atexit._run_exitfuncs:
  AttributeError: 'FigureManagerGTK3Cairo' object has no attribute 'canvas'

What does it mean, and how do I stop it?

Keith

What it means, specifically, is that one (or more) figure objects still in memory at the time of exiting the python interpretor are missing the expected canvas attribute. I see this happen in various backends from time to time. The best I can figure is that somehow, the destructor for the figure has already been called (as it should), which should eliminate its “FigureManager” instance, but for some reason, that figure manager is still around and its destructor finally tries to destroy the canvas, which is already gone.

It is really an odd bug, and I am fairly certain my diagnostic isn’t quite right because I never was able to make a SSCE for testing/debugging/traceback purposes. The closest I was able to get was with a preliminary version of the animation framework Ryan May and I were working on a few years back. His code was holding some extra references, while destroying other objects… it was weird.

Sorry, I don’t have any solutions for you. Maybe someone else will.

I am still getting this error, this time with matplotlib.pyplot.matshow, and
I do not get any plot. This bug really needs to be fixed!

Can you provide a minimal example that will trigger the bug?

From the description you have given we don't have enough information

to diagnose the problem.

Ben thinks this is related to some long-standing issues, if you could
help us track them down it would be greatly appreciated.

How's this for minimal?

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
plt.matshow([[0.0]])

It crashes with the FigureManagerGTK3Cairo error.

What versions of things are you using (python, mpl, gtk, gtk's python
bindings, and cairo) and how did you install them?

Can you also include the full backtrace?
