Backend QtAgg is interactive backend. Turning interactive mode on.

Expected behavior

Interactive mode is turned on without printing a traceback.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install matplotlib 3.8.3, PyQt5 5.15.10 and setuptools 69.1.1
2. Debug this script with a breakpoint on the print call:

import matplotlib
print()
