#50717: py27-matplotlib @1.5.1_1: fails to import on OSX 10.7.5 ----------------------------+-------------------- Reporter: petr@… | Owner: sean@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: py-matplotlib | ----------------------------+-------------------- Description changed by petr@…: Old description:
On an OS X 10.7.5 machine we get a somewhat strange error on `import matplotlib`.
Here the traceback: ```
import matplotlib Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7 /site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py", line 1131, in <module> rcParams = rc_params() File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7 /site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py", line 975, in rc_params return rc_params_from_file(fname, fail_on_error) File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7 /site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py", line 1100, in rc_params_from_file config_from_file = _rc_params_in_file(fname, fail_on_error) File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7 /site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py", line 1018, in _rc_params_in_file with _open_file_or_url(fname) as fd: File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/contextlib.py", line 17, in __enter__ return self.gen.next() File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7 /site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py", line 1000, in _open_file_or_url encoding = locale.getdefaultlocale()[1] File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/locale.py", line 543, in getdefaultlocale return _parse_localename(localename) File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/locale.py", line 475, in _parse_localename raise ValueError, 'unknown locale: %s' % localename ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8
The strange thing here is that the locale looks reasonable, the same version just import fine on other OS X versions. Also downgrade to an earlier version (`py27-matplotlib @1.4.3_0+cairo+tkinter`), the import just works fine and the problem is gone.
The locale looks reasonable:
```
import locale locale.getpreferredencoding() 'UTF-8'
Any idea what's going on here? Is this an upstream issue?
