 In EPEL 8 the wx backend for matplotlib was provided (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1955488). It would be great if this backend is also provided in the EPEL 9 repository.

Hi,

FYI: I have tried to test and a very basic test seems to work

However when I try to use it I cannot get the backend properly:

# python3
Python 3.9.16 (main, May 29 2023, 00:00:00) 
[GCC 11.3.1 20221121 (Red Hat 11.3.1-4)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import matplotlib
>>> import matplotlib.backends.backend_wxagg
>>>

Thank you very much for fixing this!
