Python bindings crash when matplotlib is also used

Polyscope's python bindings seem to interact strangely when matplotlib is also used. Here's a simple reproducing example:

import numpy as np
import polyscope as ps
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

points_numpy = np.random.random((10,2))

# (1) Polyscope init
ps.init()
ps.register_point_cloud("my points", points_numpy)

# (2) Polyscope show
ps.show()

# (3) Matplotlib init
fig_samples = plt.figure()
ax_samples = plt.axes()
ax_samples.scatter(points_numpy[:, 0], points_numpy[:, 1])
ax_samples.set_aspect("equal")

# (4) Matplotlib show
plt.show()

I numbered the code sections to describe the different permutations. There are only 4!/(2!2!)=6 valid permutations so it's not too bad to just enumerate all of them.

If polyscope is initialized first (i.e., (1,2,3,4) or (1,3,2,4) or (1,3,4,2)), it mostly works fine. If polyscope is shown first, it'll still hang around after the close button is clicked and the matplotlib figure is still open, but other than that it works how I'd expect.

Now if matplotlib is initialized first, we run into problems. The order (3,4,1,2) also works fine, but (3,1,2,4) or (3,1,4,2) both cause the program to crash. Here's the output (I'm running this on an M1 Mac, macOS 13.3.1):

I'm not sure if this is a polyscope issue, a matplotlib issue, or a combination of both, but it's perhaps something to look into. Thanks!

リポジトリのファイルやテストは指定されていません。まず、報告された macOS セットアップで提供された 6 つの順列を実行し、Polyscope と matplotlib の初期化および表示動作を比較してください。組み合わせがクラッシュせず、ウィンドウの動作が想定される順序と一致すれば完了です。
