[Python-modules-team] Bug#632963: matplotlib: ftbs due to tkinter api change

[Julian Taylor]

Package: matplotlib
Version: 1.0.1-2
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: FTBS

matplotlib fails to build from source as tkinter.__version__ in python 2.7.2
does not contain the svn revision anymore (the repository has changed to hg)

setupext.py relies on __version__ having the revision number
See the attached buildlog

A patch is available here:
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/commit/04b4e5091978

for python 3 you additionally need this commit:
