Description
I have been trying out all of my code examples from my book against master to find any additional bugs. I came across this one in chapter 2 where I set up an example for selecting and removing Line2D objects from a plot. Doing so now causes this traceback:
ben@tigger:~/Documents/InteractiveMPL$ python chp2/track_deleter.py

if ax.xaxis is not None:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'xaxis'
Essentially, calling Line2D.axes = None as part of the remove process is triggering its property setter, and that property setter is assuming that an Axes object is always passed in.
