Question

Getting the error message when using matplotlib:

Error #15: Initializing libiomp5.dylib, but found libiomp5.dylib already initialized OMP: Hin

Answer 1

Try to change the backend of matplotlib.

For example, Tkagg backend causes this problem in my case. I changed it to Qt5Agg

matplotlib.use('Qt5Agg') 

and it helps.
