_tkinter.TclError: wrong # args: should be "wm attributes window"

i'm using python 3.6 on linux, and i was using matplotlib version 1.5.1, so i updated it to latest version 2.2.2

Then there was a problem with a simple code.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1,2,3,4])
plt.show()

when i run this code, error occurred with this message. (the picture popped in a second then it disappeared quickly)

self.canvas.manager.window.attributes('-topmost', 1) File "/home/taegyu/tkinter/init.py", line 1782, in wm_attributes return self.tk.call(args) _tkinter.TclError: wrong # args: should be "wm attributes window"

After reinstalling with matplotlib version 1.5, I do not see any problem. I think it's probably a problem with tkinter and matplotlib crashes. But i don't know exactly problem and what should i do for this. Can anyone solve this problem?

Try a different backend, for instance GTK:

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('GTKAgg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1,2,3,4])
plt.show()
