Dunno... The idea here is that matplolib GUI has many types depending on different backends. A KDE user _can_ run the qt gui. A Gnome user _can_ run the GTK gui. etc. At runtime the _available_ backends should be checked and one should be picked which is curently available, ie. installed. Due to python / apt nature what is avaiable at install time is different from what is there at the runtime. Ideally we should be able to detect that. I got this idea to use Python-Apt bindings to write a small function that will check with apt what's installed and pick the pretties one. I'll work on this, should be easy. Hopefully I will have something ready (patch, debdiff, PPA) in a few hours. This will be Debian/Ubuntu solution. Forward looking when PackageKit will catch on this solution can be ported to use PackageKit to be used cross-distro. -- With best regards Dmitrijs Ledkovs (for short Dima), Ледков Дмитрий Юрьевич -- python-matplotlib: missing package dependency (python-tk) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301007 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
