Plotnine plots not showing up

See original GitHub issue

I am running the example code from the plotnine website using a script. The plot shows up with the exact same code in Jupyter, but not in Spyder (neither inline, nor in the Plots window)

from plotnine import ggplot, geom_point, aes, stat_smooth, facet_wrap
from plotnine.data import mtcars

(ggplot(mtcars, aes('wt', 'mpg', color='factor(gear)'))
 + geom_point()
 + stat_smooth(method='lm')
 + facet_wrap('~gear'))

Found a workaround but hoping for a more practical solution. I slightly modify the ggplot code in the script to ss=(ggplot(mtcars, aes('wt', 'mpg', color='factor(gear)'))) and then type the following into the console: (ss+ geom_point() + stat_smooth(method='lm') + facet_wrap('~gear'))

So the answer is: you need to print the object:

from plotnine import ggplot, geom_point, aes, stat_smooth, facet_wrap
from plotnine.data import mtcars

a = (ggplot(mtcars, aes('wt', 'mpg', color='factor(gear)'))
 + geom_point()
 + stat_smooth(method='lm')
 + facet_wrap('~gear'))

print(a)
