[Python-modules-team] Bug#587973: python-matplotlib: problem when importing pylab

[Picca Frederic-Emmanuel]

Package: python-matplotlib
Version: 0.99.3-1
Severity: normal

Hello

Here the error message when I try to import pylab

picca at mordor:~$ python
Python 2.6.5+ (release26-maint, Jul  1 2010, 00:47:18) 
[GCC 4.4.4] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from matplotlib import pylab
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/matplotlib/pylab.py", line 247, in <module>
    from matplotlib.pyplot import *
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/matplotlib/pyplot.py", line 78, in <module>
    new_figure_manager, draw_if_interactive, show = pylab_setup()
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/matplotlib/backends/__init__.py", line 25, in pylab_setup
    globals(),locals(),[backend_name])
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/matplotlib/backends/backend_tkagg.py", line 7, in <module>
    import Tkinter as Tk, FileDialog
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 42, in <module>
    raise ImportError, str(msg) + ', please install the python-tk package'
ImportError: No module named _tkinter, please install the python-tk package

So it seems that a dependency to python-tk is missing.

See you

Frederic
