Description Enrique 2021-04-30 08:44:49 UTC

Description of problem:

 The matplotlib packages provided by CentOS include the Tk, Qt and Gtk backends. However the wx backend is missing. Since wxPython is missing from CentOS this is understandable. However wxPython is now available in EPEL (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1765573), so it could be technically possible to add the wx backend to the EPEL repository.

 It would be much appreciated if this wx matplotlib backend is added to EPEL.

I don't know who maintains this in EPEL, but it's not me.

Comment 2 Enrique 2021-06-04 10:48:03 UTC

Thanks for the update. Would it be possible that it is assigned to someone who can work on it?
Best regards

Comment 3 Elliott Sales de Andrade 2021-06-20 01:37:39 UTC

No idea, maybe someone on the Python SIG knows.

Comment 4 Elliott Sales de Andrade 2022-01-02 21:51:55 UTC

According to bug 1750771, this was built by Orion.

Comment 5 Orion Poplawski 2022-01-12 05:14:33 UTC

Hmm, looks like there are some test failures on s390x to look at:

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=81128314

though might just ignore that.

Comment 6 Enrique 2022-01-12 11:30:54 UTC

Thanks for the update! Should I test for x86_64? From which repository can I do that?
Regards

Comment 7 Orion Poplawski 2022-01-13 02:30:20 UTC

You'll need to download directly from the test build above if you want to test it.
