Hi,

thanks a lot for this bug report.

This is a bit misleading error output.  The problem is that the code
might work with some former matplotlib versions / Python3 versions but
it is using a private module of matplotlib[1] which is simply forbidden.

I have reported this issue upstream (see above).

Since this makes dicompyler unusable I have bumped the bug severity to
serious ... which will possibly mean that dicompyler will not be
distributed with the next Debian release if upstream does not come
up with some solution in the next 2-3 weeks.

Kind regards,

      Andreas.
