I was surprised that when I created an image plot using imshow I had the same old jet colormap instead of viridis. I looked in my ~/.confg/matplotlib/matplotlib<wbr>rc file and the image.cmap line was commented out, so that didn't seem to be the problem. Just to be sure, I moved that one aside and copied the new one under the matplotlib distribution to its place (which also has that line commented out). I still get the same result. Obviously I can fix this either by uncommenting that line or by specifying the cmap in calls to imshow.
