ReliabilityDiagram fails to import because of tikzplotlib

[Praisethefab]

When trying to plot a ReliabilityDiagram I got this traceback:

File "REDACTED", line 31, in
from netcal.presentation import ReliabilityDiagram
File "REDACTED.venv\Lib\site-packages\netcal\presentation_init_.py", line 25, in
from .ReliabilityDiagram import ReliabilityDiagram
File "REDACTED.venv\Lib\site-packages\netcal\presentation\ReliabilityDiagram.py", line 14, in
import tikzplotlib
File "REDACTED.venv\Lib\site-packages\tikzplotlib_init_.py", line 5, in
from ._save import Flavors, get_tikz_code, save
from . import _axes
File "REDACTED.venv\Lib\site-packages\tikzplotlib_axes.py", line 3, in
from matplotlib.backends.backend_pgf import (
ImportError: cannot import name 'common_texification' from 'matplotlib.backends.backend_pgf' (REDACTED.venv\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\backend_pgf.py)

This seems to me to be caused by this issue in the tikzplotlib library and a quick fix would be to downgrade matplotlib to before 3.8.

workaround:
Don't use tikz and monkey patch it.

import sys
import types

# Create a dummy module
dummy_module = types.ModuleType('tikzplotlib')

# Insert the dummy module into sys.modules
sys.modules['tikzplotlib'] = dummy_module

Hi everyone, which python version is affected of this issue? Would be very helpful to get more details about the environments you used. Thanks
