[Matplotlib-users] Can't get interactive plots working on OSX (Catalina)

[Thomas Caswell]

That section assumes the prompt is either the plain python or IPython
shell, both of which have machinery to hook up the input_hook below
Matplotlib (which is required to have the figure to "be alive") and we
install hooks to trigger re-draws when needed.

In your case you are inside of an input loop in the debugger.  For the
figure to be live in that context something would need to be registered on
the vscode side for the input hook.

It is my understanding that "framework build" in this context refers to how
the linking to the system libraries is done.
