[Python-modules-team] Backporting matplotlib and its dependencies

[Patrick Hastings]

Good Afternoon,

Forgive me if this is overstepping my boundary. Mailing list says posting is allowed by all.

> Warning, treated as error:
> I can confirm that the missing file does not exist inside the source

Based on the message received, it seems as though the warning is interpreted as an error during runtime. I believe because it is treated the warning is treated as an error, it would cause a failure to build.

In some code for Sphinx in 2014, Prjemian at github answers an issue for a similar problem, solving it by including the line-

numpydoc_show_class_members = False 

-which seems to solve the issue.

Hi Ximin,

The existence of a backport doesn't mean that it is automatically being used when building a backport of another package. Do the build dependencies reflect the fact that the newer sphinx package is needed?
