Description of problem: In RedHat/CentOs 7, matplotlib is provided with python2 and with probably an old matplotlib version: python-matplotlib-1.2.0-16. EPEL 7 provides a dummy python2-matplotlib too. However EPEL 8 already provides a python3 lib for matplotlib, thanks to this ticket https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1750771 So this ticket is the same but for EPEL 7. Indeed, a number of EPEL users still use major version 7 because it is still supported and migrating to 8 is expensive. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/python-matplotlib-1.2.0-16.el7.x86_64.rpm https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/p/python2-matplotlib-1.2.0-0.el7.noarch.rpm Additional info:

I have no interest in EPEL packages; you will have to find an interested EPEL maintainer.
EPEL 7 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2024-06-30.\n\nEPEL 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it\nwill not receive any further security or bug fix updates.\n As a result we are closing this bug.
