matplotlib, tornado and setuptools (broken setup)

[andre.dos.anjos@…]

After upgrade to py27-matplotlib @1.3.0, I can't any longer "require" this package using pkg_resources/setuptools:

$ python
...
>>> import pkg_resources
>>> pkg_resources.require('matplotlib')
pkg_resources.require('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/pkg_resources.py", line 728, in require
    needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
  File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 626, in resolve
    raise DistributionNotFound(req)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: tornado

There seems to exist a unresolved dependence to py-tornado that was not brought in with the update. Strangely, just importing matplotlib works, but as soon as you try to "require" it through setuptools, it will break.

Installing py*-tornado fixes the problem.

To fix this problem one would need to add py*-tornado as a MacPort dependence to py*-matplotlib.

Hello,

We still have this problem.

Any news?

Thanks, Elie

I poked around and the webagg does require tornado.
