With python-2.7 this creates a dependency on wxPython >=2.8.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2014-03-22 06:19:38 UTC
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 4 John Kacur 2016-07-13 12:16:23 UTC
There are a number of compile issues, that were brought to our attention rather late in the cycle, so moving this to rhel-7.4

Comment 6 John Kacur 2017-01-31 15:17:46 UTC
We are not providing a matplotlib wx backend in rhel-7.x at this time, see also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1309744
