Package: python3-matplotlib
Version: 2.0.0+dfsg1-2
Severity: serious
Affects: python3-astropy
Dear maintainer,
the matplotlib package does not work well with the upcoming Python 3.6:
$ python3.6
Python 3.6.2rc1 (default, Jun 20 2017, 12:51:36)
[GCC 6.3.0 20170516] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from matplotlib import pyplot
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/matplotlib/pyplot.py", line 29,

import matplotlib.artist as martist

from .transforms import (Bbox, IdentityTransform, TransformedBbox,
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/matplotlib/transforms.py", line
39, in <module>
from matplotlib._path import (affine_transform,
count_bboxes_overlapping_bbox,
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'matplotlib._path'
This affects the upload of new packages for Python-astropy (and probably
other python3 packages), since the built time tests fail.
