Hey,  
I am getting these errors with I try and use Matplotlib or Seaborn. I am using Python 3.12.3.

I’m assuming you’ve figured it out, but if not I just ran into the same issue setting up a new environment. Installing the latest package from conda forge fixed the problem for me. You can install using:

`conda install seaborn -c conda-forge`

Robert,  
Thanks for your reply.  
When I created a new project everything is working fine.
