Using matplotlib without Tkinter #7115
Description
I am using matplotlib on a headless server, so I don't have or want any GUI support.
Recently (since about 3 days ago, no what this update may have coincided with) I have become unable to import pyplot, due to matplotlib requiring Tkinter:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/pyplot.py", line 114, in <module>
_backend_mod, new_figure_manager, draw_if_interactive, _show = pylab_setup()
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/__init__.py", line 32, in pylab_setup
globals(),locals(),[backend_name],0)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_tkagg.py", line 6, in <module>
from matplotlib.externals.six.moves import tkinter as Tk
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/externals/six.py", line 199, in load_module
mod = mod._resolve()
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/externals/six.py", line 113, in _resolve
return _import_module(self.mod)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/externals/six.py", line 80, in _import_module
__import__(name)
ImportError: No module named Tkinter
I believe some other change in my system exposed this long hidden issue, and pyplot has always required Tkinter- is it possible to change that?
