BUG: Plot fails with NoneType object not callable for plotly backend in pandas

[phofl]

Thanks for your interest in Plotly.py!

Before opening an issue, please search for existing and closed issues :)

Please accompany bug reports with a reproducible example. Please use the latest version of plotly.py in your report unless not applicable.

When plotting a DataFrame with pandas and the plotly backend this fails only in debug mode with the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/patrick/mambaforge/envs/random/lib/python3.10/site-packages/numpy/core/getlimits.py", line 650, in __init__
    self.dtype = numeric.dtype(int_type)
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

# import plotly.express as px
import pandas as pd

pd.options.plotting.backend = "plotly"

df = pd.DataFrame({"a": [1, 2, 3], "b": 100})
fig = df.plot()
fig.write_html(Path("/tmp").joinpath("testplot.html"))

I am using pandas 1.4.3, numpy 1.23.1 and saw this on poorly 5.10 and back to 5.7 (stopped checking then). I suspect that this is similar to numpy/numpy#21008.

The error disappears then importing plotly.express before calling df.plot(). (Importing only plotly is not sufficient).

Could not find anything similar on the issue tracker
