Description Enrique 2022-11-03 11:47:21 UTC 
Description of problem:

Application streams in Centos 8 Stream include a python 3.8 stack that can be used in parallel to the standard python 3.6 stack. However the matplotlib package for python 3.8 is not available. It would be great if EPEL includes also package python38-matplotlib for EPEL 8.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

In principle it can be the same version as in the python 3.6 stack, i.e. 3.0.3, but there might be constraints that imply a higher version is needed, depending on the rest of the dependencies.
