Amazon EMP cluster AMP error

Question

I am using EMR 5.3.1 AWS cluster with Hadoop + Spark + Hive + Zeppelin

When I use Zeppelin and a command like:

%python import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.plot([1, 2, 3]) 

I get an error:

 ImportError: Gtk3 backend requires pygobject to be installed. 

How to solve it?

Answer 1

Add this line - matplotlib.use ('Agg')

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