"Process finished with exit code -2147483645" Pycharm

Question

I ran Python 3.6.6 Deep Learning with Pycharm 2019.1.3. The process was set at maximum 651 episode and it stopped at episode 368 with this message "Process finished with exit code -2147483645". I searched through Google but there's not even a result. Anyone knows about the code? Please help!

It's hard to guess what exactly the problem is. But as I experienced the same exit code while doing some file conversions which include plotting with matplotlib, so your error is likely to come from this. As Sergey K. mentioned in his comment, the issue is probably PyCharm-related.

There, others pointed out that it helps to switch the backend of matplotlib. This can be done by adding the following line right after importing matplotlib:

matplotlib.rcParams['backend'] = 'QT4Agg'
