Dear Maintainer,
UnicodeDecodeError on importing pyplot If some module in call stack is
located in directory with non-ascii character in path. The problem is
that traceback.format_stack() returns list of 'str' objects in
python2. This problem happens only on python2.
Code for reproduction
Create two modules in a directory with a non-ascii character in the path.
#!/usr/bin/env python
# first_module.py
import second_module
# second_module.py
import matplotlib.pyplot
Run first module.
$ python2 first_module.py
Following traceback happens
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./a.py", line 3, in <module>
import second_module
File "/home/developer/WorkData/PLC/beremiz/tmp/xыв/beremiz/second_module.py",
line 3, in <module>
import matplotlib.pyplot
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/matplotlib/pyplot.py", line 71, in
<module>
from matplotlib.backends import pylab_setup
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/matplotlib/backends/__init__.py", line

line for line in traceback.format_stack()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/matplotlib/backends/__init__.py", line

if not line.startswith(' File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap'))
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd1 in position 50:
ordinal not in range
I've reported this bug upstream
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/11955
and it was fixed and release as part of 2.2.4 release
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/commit/69b4233a7d8ef0750f83aa63ff20b939e996cc4f
It makes python programs installed in user's directories with non-ascii symbols
in path unusable.
Would be nice to get this minor change backported to be included in Buster.
