I had a scheduled task that would create a plot with matplotlib as part of the logging process. On November 25 it stopped working (it started giving a error related to the backend, I dont know if some update happened in pythonanywhere installation of matplotlib), I can fix the log app to use the agg backend but my problem is that my webapps also use matplotlib and I dont know if at some point they will also stop working. Should I run all my webapps in virtualenvs?

Update: I checked and matplotlib wont work on python 2.7 unless you use matplotlib.use('Agg'); You should change it in the wiki about using matplotlib

Hi there, sorry about that, it does look like the defaults have changed. Not sure how that slipped through. Will get the wiki updated.
