Estou testando vários casos de Django e matplotlib, comoessa questão ouem francês.

Sempre que funciona no meu mac, mas não no meu servidor, onde recebo o seguinte erro:

Internal Server Error: /mj/charts/mplimage.png

Aqui está um trecho mínimo:

def mplimage(request):
    f = matplotlib.figure.Figure()
    canvas = FigureCanvasAgg(f)
    response = HttpResponse(content_type='image/png')
    canvas.print_png(response)
    plt.close(f)
    return response

Eu tentei atualizar matplotlib, django e assim por diante, mas não fez nada ...
