ImportError during launch

[marcowurth]

Hi, I just installed psy-view on Linux via my miniconda:
conda create -n psyplot -c conda-forge --override-channels psy-view

After then typing psy-view launching fails due to an import error in psy-simple with a matplotlib method:

(psyplot) 14:30 ~/Documents/stuff $psy-view
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: cannot import name 'get_cmap' from 'matplotlib.cm' (/home/marcowurth/miniconda3/envs/psyplot/lib/python3.11/site-packages/matplotlib/cm.py)

I checked the module in question matplotlib/cm.py (matplotlib-base v3.9.0) and it contains the method get_cmap twice, in class ColormapRegistry and in ScalarMappable. Hope this helps.

Update: matplotlib.cm.get_cmap is deprecated since v3.7. Seems straight-forward to replace your get_cmap calls with the newer matplotlib.colormaps[name], so that psy-view works with newer matplotlib versions too.
