[Bug 301007] [NEW] Missing package dependency

[Bill Moyers]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: python-matplotlib

I am using Ubuntu 8.10. I installed the package python-matplotlib
(0.98.3-4ubuntu1 (intrepid)). In my __init__.py I have:


import pylab

I am using Python 2.5.2. When I run the program I got the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "__init__.py", line 4, in <module>
    import pylab
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pylab.py", line 1, in <module>
    from matplotlib.pylab import *
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/pylab.py", line 249, in <module>
    from matplotlib.pyplot import *
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/pyplot.py", line 75, in <module>
    new_figure_manager, draw_if_interactive, show = pylab_setup()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/__init__.py", line 23, in pylab_setup
    globals(),locals(),[backend_name])
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_tkagg.py", line 7, in <module>
    import Tkinter as Tk, FileDialog
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 41, in <module>
    raise ImportError, str(msg) + ', please install the python-tk package'
ImportError: No module named _tkinter, please install the python-tk package

I installed the python-tk Ubuntu package and it cleared up. I guess a
package dependency is missing?
