I use up-to-date Debian testing (wheezy) with an amd64 architecture.  I 
am trying to use matplotlib with Python 3.2, I downloaded 
matplotlib-matplotlib-v1.1.0-684-ge87374e.tar.gz
I expanded the tarball and did
python3.2 setup.py build
and, as root,
python3.2 setup.py install

When I tried to run
python3.2 tests.py
I had two types of error.  First the files in lib/dateutil:  parser.py, 
rrule.py, etc. had not been run through 2to3.  I removed back-quotes, 
used the function-call form for exceptions, and fixed some import 
statements.

After fixing these errors I get 13 messages like:

ERROR: Failure: AttributeError ('module' object has no attribute 
'test_backend_svg')
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/nose/failure.py", line 37, in 
runTest
     raise self.exc_class(self.exc_val).with_traceback(self.tb)
   File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/nose/loader.py", line 379, in 
loadTestsFromName
     module = resolve_name(addr.module)
   File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/nose/util.py", line 331, in 
resolve_name
     obj = getattr(obj, part)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'test_backend_svg'

These tests are all in build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.2/matplotlib/tests.

There is a similar problem in 
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=28398373

What is the problem and the fix?
