ImportError: Cannot load backend 'Qt5Agg' which requires the 'qt5' interactive framework, as 'headless' is currently running about matchingmarkets.py HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey, author of the package here.

I didn't work on this code for a while, I just downloaded it and I'll take a look.

Are all codelab notebook similar to colab notebooks from here: https://colab.research.google.com/ ?

I think the issue is from the interactive plots (like the one at the top of the README) not playing nice with some package versions. I'll update here when I find out.

from matchingmarkets.py.

Hi, pardon the typo .. yes, was using a colab environment via the Google link you indicated.

Thank you in advance for taking a look.

from matchingmarkets.py.

The error is specific to colab it seems, because it runs on headless servers, the plotting backend can't work.

I added a bandaid fix so the package can still be imported, but you won't be able to plot the interactive visualizations in the colab environment
