Comment (by kencu):

 It looks like you'll need to play around with things a bit and sort out
 which backend matplotlib can use on 10.5 PPC.

 There are a number of them:

 {{{
  ['GTK3Agg', 'GTK3Cairo', 'GTK4Agg', 'GTK4Cairo', 'MacOSX', 'nbAgg',
 'QtAgg', 'QtCairo', 'Qt5Agg', 'Qt5Cairo', 'TkAgg', 'TkCairo', 'WebAgg',
 'WX', 'WXAgg', 'WXCairo', 'agg', 'cairo', 'pdf', 'pgf', 'ps', 'svg',
 'template']
 }}}

 and it looks like you set them like this:
 {{{
 import matplotlib
 matplotlib.use('THE_BACKEND')
 import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
 }}}


 I tried GTK3Cairo. It asked for py312-gobject3, which I installed. After
 that, it seemed to do your plot of 1,2,3,4 OK, but -- nothing showed up on
 the screen anywhere.

 I'm sure I'm missing something. Perhaps you need to use 'gnuplot' or
 'aquaterm' to get this to work, or maybe a different backend is a better
 option.
