Description Yoann Vandoorselaere 2005-02-10 08:11:18 UTC

There is a hard dependencie on PyGTK in Matplotlib. This is incorrect, since this specific dependencies is optional. 

As a result, when using matplotlib for, say a web server application, you get to install the library by hand since the ebuild would result in emerging PyGTK and all it's dependencies (including Xorg and such).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge matplotlib
Actual Results:  
Will emerge pygtk, xorg, etc...

Expected Results:  
An use flag should be provided to get rid of the pygtk dependencie.
