[Users] Possible bug report

[Gabriele Bozzola]

Hi Rodrigo,

Thanks for your bug report, for looking into it, and trying to come up with
a potential solution.

As Thiago mentioned, this is a known issue. In version 1.4.1 (tagged but
not released), the import of the offending module (`tikzplotlitb`) only
occurs when the module is needed.
If you want to give it a try, you can install this version of kuibit with:
```
pip install -U git+https://github.com/sbozzolo/kuibit.git@141
```

There is a pull request to `tikzplotlib` that does what you suggested:
https://github.com/nschloe/tikzplotlib/pull/604 . However, it has not been
merged yet. Unfortunately, `tikzplotlib` hasn't seen too much work as of
lately...

Please, let us know if you encounter further issues.

Best,
Gabriele
