I think I found the answer. I was having the same problem. In PyCharm Professional 2017.3, go to File | Settings | Tools | Python Scientific. There is an option there to "Show plots in toolwindow". Uncheck this option. Then it should work ok. It has something to do with PyCharm trying to help you by allowing you to interact with your plots - as hinted at in this issue discussion. https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-26652

While this short-term solution does technically address this specific exception, the underlying issue is matplotlib itself – not PyCharm. Matplotlib 2.2.0 accidentally broke backward compatibility in a painful, horrifying manner.

That was a great find. How did you find this ?
Try to install older version of matplotlib like 2.1.0 rather than v 2.2.0
use:
pip uninstall matplotlib
pip install matplotlib==2.1.0

Why would this be a solution? If there is a problem with the latest version of matplotlib, it would be good to know what it is, such that it can be fixed.
Cecil Curry
@ImportanceOfBeingErnest This is the solution. Why? Because the most recent stable release of matplotlib significantly broke backward compatibility by deleting the long-standing public
matplotlib.verbose API. This effectively means that all downstream applications (like PyCharm) requiring matplotlib as a third-party dependency now need to blacklist matplotlib 2.2.0 in the hopes that their next stable release will revert this obvious horrifying breakage. In other words, they screwed up. Big time.ImportanceOfBeingErnest
@CecilCurry I completely agree. My comment was inviting to extend the answer as to why this is a solution. Since that did not happen, I provided an answer myself.
Cecil Curry
Right. Thanks for chiming in at matplotlib#10716, too. Excellent work, team.
This is an error on the matplotlib side, verbose was unintentionally removed in matplotlib 2.2.0.
See this issue.
This is fixed from the matplotlib side as of version 2.2.2. (Release here)
If updating is not an option, one less ideal option could be to locate the __init__.py inside the matplotlib folder, and add the line
verbose = Verbose()
after the Verbose() class - that should be around line 384 in the current version.

For those hitting similar issues in a future timeline, note that the entire
matplotlib.Verbose API has been deprecated and is expected to be removed within six months. Ergo, reverting to an older version of matplotlib is probably the stabler, safer solution.ImportanceOfBeingErnest
Yes, in fact, the solution from this answer (readding verbose to the source) will also cause a warning at every matplotlib import, so it is for sure not a long time solution.

confirmed - plt is up to par for that and added that line for 2.1.2 in py2.7 py3.6.4 versions.
ImportanceOfBeingErnest
@ZF007 This error is now fixed as of version 2.2.2.
if anyone is having issue such as: module matplotlib has no attribute 'artist'. Try this method below by removing matplotlib
pip uninstall matplotlib
then reinstall it again worked for me
pip install matplotlib==3.0.0

In the most recent version of PyCharm (Profession 2020.2), this issue if fixed. You can use matplotlib 2.2.0+ and make use of the "Show plots in tool window" feature at the same time.
