This is an alternate presentation of #26827, just with mpl 3.6 installed rather than mpl 3.5 (and thus a different exception, which the initial band-aid fix doesn't catch).

The short version is that you have a state where two incompatible versions of mpl are installed and it is selecting the wrong one for 3D support. See the other thread for more details

I'm going to close this as a duplicate so that we keep the conversation in one place, but feel free to add some context over there.

This is also exacerbated by the fact that Debian's non-default Python is completely busted. They have patched distro search paths to /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages, which has no minor version in it. Your Python 3.11 is not the default Python for Ubuntu 22.04 (that is 3.10), but because of these faulty search paths, it still sees the distribution files.

Expand 3D import to handle any exception not just ImportError

Needed for the same reasons as matplotlib#27178 (Namely that we should not be failing on import just because mpl_toolkits is broken), but mpl 3.6 presents with an AttributeError rather than ImportError

See discussion in matplotlib#26827 and matplotlib#27289

Just expanded liberally in case there are other presentations we have not seen
