Yesterday, my program was working perfectly fine. However, today it stopped working. I think that it may have something to do with the latest Mac OS update, as I had just installed it today. My testing code is shown below
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
print("ehllow")
zeroes = np.zeros((10,10))
plt.imshow(zeroes)
plt.show()
Everything is going fine until I get to plt.show(). I had tried removing it, and the program ran smoothly, but once I added it back in I got the error
Segmentation fault: 11
and then it shows a python crash screen
I have python version 3.7.6 64 bit for Mac.

1) Segmentation Fault (also known as SIGSEGV and is usually signal 11) occur when the program tries to write/read outside the memory allocated for it or when writing memory which can only be read.In other words when the program tries to access the memory to which it doesn't have access to.
Segmentation fault 11 Python Segmentation fault 11 is usually caused by memory allocation issues, and if you're having this problem, be sure to try some of the solutions mentioned above.

Ok. Just for anyone wondering
Just uninstalling and reinstalling the packages that were giving the error worked for me
pip uninstall matplotlib
pip install matplotlib
I had the same issue - a Python program that was working fine before updating to Big Sur, and crashing with:
Segmentation fault: 11
after updating.
As previous responses have advised, just uninstalling and reinstalling the offending Python libraries fixed the problem. For me, that meant matplotlib:
pip uninstall matplotlib
pip install matplotlib
