Package: python-matplotlib
Version: 1.5.3-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Every Python script I have that uses matplotlib or pylab is now
failing on Stretch with the following stack trace:
Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1545, in __call__
return self.func(*args)

OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long
These scripts all work fine on Jessie, and used to work until quite
recently on Stretch/Sid.
Here's a short test program that will demonstrate the problem:
=====
import pylab
distances = [0, 0.0011970407617050934, 0.0050796062254631295,
0.007303941153223762, 0.007303941153223762, 0.008232870398475445,
0.008232870398475445, 0.012806461740481582, 0.016651523629144134,
0.021047330616832543]
elevations = [6404.2, 6410.76, 6400.92, 6410.76, 6423.88, 6423.88, 6453.41,
6410.76, 6427.17, 6420.6]
pylab.plot(distances, elevations)
pylab.show()
