Description
Hi,
I'm running a script which invokes corner.corner, and everything goes fine in my local machine (python3).
I'm trying to run the same script in a cluster (python2.7) with no graphics device. To save the plots directly in a pdf file, I use the commands
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
at the beginning of my script. After including these lines, I find that corner.corner hangs.
Can someone tell me why, and how I can solve this? Does it depend on the version of python, or on the absence of a graphics device?
Thanks a lot

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported hang with corner.corner in the described Python 2.7 cluster environment, including matplotlib.use('Agg') and PDF output. Compare it with the user's working Python 3 setup and determine whether the no-graphics-device configuration or version difference causes the hang; done means identifying a reproducible cause and documenting a working configuration or confirmed fix.
