I've run into this same issue in the past, and have it "fixed" in my
own local copy of matplotlib. I just placed a check to make sure that
cid actually was in the callbacks for s before deleting it.
That is quite possibly a band-aid; I never looked far enough in to
see. But it is possibly another way of fixing the problem.
def process(self, s, *args, **kwargs):
"""
process signal *s*. All of the functions registered to receive
callbacks on *s* will be called with *\*args* and *\*\*kwargs*
"""
if s in self.callbacks:
for cid, proxy in self.callbacks[s].items():
# Clean out dead references
if proxy.inst is not None and proxy.inst() is None:
if cid in self.callbacks[s]: #<------- here
del self.callbacks[s][cid]
else:
proxy(*args, **kwargs)
