Bug summary
matplotlib.pyplot isn't friendly to remotely run commands with no X server:
In [1]: import matplotlib.pyplot
In [2]: QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display
AbortedHowever, selecting the backend before hand fixes the problem:
In [1]: import matplotlib
In [2]: matplotlib.use("Agg")
In [3]: import matplotlib.pyplotI am not very familiar, but could there be some check of the display module before importing? My problem is I obtain this error when running on a remote server with no X11 forwarding and importing a library that by default imports maplotlib.pyplot. (The library is pims )
