Architectural problems importing with M1 Mac.

[mkacki98]

Description

Troubles importing wordcloud, could that be an M1 issue?

Steps/Code to Reproduce

Code:

from wordcloud import WordCloud
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from PIL import Image
import numpy as np

text = ("Data science is an interdisciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract knowledge and insights from data in various forms, both structured and unstructured, similar to data")

wordcloud = WordCloud(width=1280, height=853, margin=0,
                      colormap='Blues').generate(text)

plt.imshow(wordcloud, interpolation='bilinear')
plt.axis('off')
plt.margins(x=0, y=0)
plt.show()

Hi, again on my side: sorry for the lack of reply.

I created a fresh environment with python3 -m venv .venv and installed only wordcloud on Python 3.9.13 and the code pasted above did not cause any errors!

I came back to the environment I worked with when I encountered the issue, it has the following packages installed (with the same method as above, without conda) and is running Python 3.9.15:

I can confirm the bug is still there. It's probably some interactions with a package that has overwritten some other package version that causes the problem. Do you have an idea of what it could be?

[mkacki98]

i am a new starter, i've stock in install wordcloud on my MacBook air m1 for whole day, it's so bad, I wanna go back to windows 😭😭

That has also been my experience with M1 so far, but I am slowly getting used to it and all the workarounds, do not lose hope!

btw there should be binaries available now on pypi.

Closing, let me know if there's still an issue!
