Package: python3-matplotlib
Version: 1.3.1-1+b2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
When importing pylab then an ImportError is thrown (see below).
The pylab import is required by most matplotlib based programs.
I would expect the import to succeed without error.
Example:
$ python3 -c "import matplotlib.pylab"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/matplotlib/pylab.py", line 269, in
<module>
from matplotlib.pyplot import *
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/matplotlib/pyplot.py", line 98, in
<module>
_backend_mod, new_figure_manager, draw_if_interactive, _show =
pylab_setup()
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/matplotlib/backends/__init__.py", line
28, in pylab_setup
globals(),locals(),[backend_name],0)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_tkagg.py",
line 11, in <module>
import matplotlib.backends.tkagg as tkagg
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/matplotlib/backends/tkagg.py", line 2,
in <module>
from matplotlib.backends import _tkagg
ImportError: cannot import name '_tkagg'
$
The error does not occur with the python2 based package python-matplotlib on my
system:
$ python -c "import matplotlib.pylab"
$
This bug is probably related to #750630, which however addresses the package
python-matplotlib.
The workaround that is mentioned in #750630 works with the GTK3Cairo backend
but not with the GTK backend even though I do not see what dependency (i.e.
what Debian package) is missing:
$ python3 -c "import matplotlib;matplotlib.use('GTK3Cairo');import
matplotlib.pyplot as plt"
$
$ python3 -c "import matplotlib;matplotlib.use('GTK');import matplotlib.pyplot
as plt"
Traceback (most recent call last):

line 12, in <module>
import gobject

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
