Dear Michael,
Sorry for such a lengthy email, but I wanted to ask about dependencies
as well. I am trying to get python and py3k versions of matplotlib
working. In addition to this I am trying to do this with git/master
version. I can build Python2 version, but I could not do it with Python3.
Could you tell me which packages are indeed needed to build python
git/master? What are differences between Python2 and Python3
dependencies? I could later provide a patch for the git/master INSTALL
file.
So, the compile dependencies are as follows?
media-libs/libpng # Needed?
dev-python/imaging # Only for docs?
dev-python/xlwt # What about this package?
Runtime dependencies?
virtual/ttf-fonts # I guess theese are needed for selecting
media-fonts/stix-fonts # different fonts, or is it the case that
media-fonts/texcm-ttf # mpl uses LaTeX fonts already?
dev-python/pyparsing # Necessary?
cairo? ( dev-python/pycairo ) # What about pango?
excel? ( dev-python/xlwt )
latex? ( # Needed only for latex'ing
virtual/latex-base
app-text/ghostscript-gpl
app-text/poppler[utils] # Needed?
dev-texlive/texlive-fontsrecommended
)"
I started to follow the development of MPL a bit and IIRC it is
now possible to install a python3 version along with the Python2. What
is more one can use Pyside instead of pyqt4 for qt. But what about gtk?
What libs are needed if I want to use gtk and python3? I remember, that
there were some issues, but do not know whether they were resolved.
Maybe it would be a good idea to reflect the Python3 status/dependencies
in the documentation?
Either way, thanks very much for working on the project!
All best,
Ignas A.
