plots not plotting

[swanstro]

I recently purchased Real World Python and am enjoying the projects.
However, I'm not having any luck getting my plots to show up with the stylometry.py code in chapter 2.

I have uncommented the code, and although the python rocket shows up when I run it—and the rest of the code runs just fine in the shell—the plots themselves don't materialize. (Once the code runs in the shell, the rocket disappears.). Fwiw: I don't have any problems generating the dispersion plot in practice_hound_dispersion.py.

I am using python 3.8 via a virtual environment. I am on a mac, and I use BBedit to code (but for now I'm just using the code on your github page (minus the comment ##) : https://github.com/rlvaugh/Real_World_Python/tree/master/Chapter_2

If you have any tips for me, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Sorry you are having trouble. Matplotlib only wants one plot.show() call. Have you tried running the code with the comments (##) on and only the last plot call, in the parts_of_speech_test() function, NOT commented out? This should bring up all the plots at once, after the code completes. You may see blank windows for a few tens of seconds, depending on your computer.

Hi there, Thanks so much for writing back. I have tried that but it hasn't worked, unfortunately. The nltk plots are working ok for me (I tried a shorter version and used freqDist.plot(50, cumulative=True)) but the plt.show() isn't...
