The following code produces the following error;

from sklearn.linear_model import SGDClassifier
from xgboost import XGBClassifier
from lightgbm import LGBMClassifier
from datetime import date
from dateutil.parser import isoparse
from pandas.plotting import table

The error is now shown:

I am using matplotlib and matplotlib-base ver 3.3.3

I am also using python 3.8.2.

I do not know how to get rid of this error?
