Matplotlib version?

[sid-kap]

Is there a chance we could loosen the matplotlib requirement for this project? It's currently requiring matplotlib==3.1.1; I'm wondering if something more flexible, like matploblib>=3,<4 would work?

This fact prevents me from installing PDPbox in my environment (Windows 10 with Python 3.9.1), as I do not have a compiler on my machine and cannot install one. Thus I cannot install this old matplotlib version.

Also requesting this! matplotlib 3.1.1 is 2 years old as of writing. It's difficult to use pdpbox if I have to use such an out of date matplotlib.

Same here. I had to move to other packages because of the outdated dependency, but I do like the PDPBox package. Any update on a release?

Version 0.2.0 does not have this requirement, I successfully installed. During the installation process, the matplolib request "METADATA", I copy it from "matplotlib_inline-0.1.3.dist-info"

Same here. I would like to use PDPbox with the latest matplotlib ! matplotlib==3.1.1 can't work with Python 3.9.

Seemingly matlplotlib>=3.2.2 is the lowest to go. Forced updated to version 3.2.2:

pip install pdpbox>=0.2.1
pip install matplotlib>=3.2.2

Ran this code in google codelab:

from pdpbox import pdp
feat_name = 'wr_40_end'
for feat_name in more_important_features[:10]:
    print(f'plot for feat_name:{feat_name}')
    p_isolate = pdp.pdp_isolate(rfr, X, X.columns, feat_name) 
    fig, axes = pdp.pdp_plot(p, feat_name, plot_lines=True)
    fig.show()
p_interact = pdp.pdp_interact(rfr, X, X.columns, more_important_features)
fix, axes = pdp.pdp_interact_plot(p_interact, more_important_features)

And got:

findfont: Font family ['Arial'] not found. Falling back to DejaVu Sans.
findfont: Font family ['Arial'] not found. Falling back to DejaVu Sans.
findfont: Font family ['Arial'] not found. Falling back to DejaVu Sans.
findfont: Font family ['Arial'] not found. Falling back to DejaVu Sans.

Other than above warnings, there were no problems.

Thanks.
