#29893 closed defect (fixed)

improve or remove parsing of Tkinter.__version__ required for newer python versions

Reported by: vbkhp@… Owned by: skymoo (Adam Mercer)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.9.2
Keywords: Cc:
Port: py27-matplotlib

Description (last modified by jmroot (Joshua Root))

due to the cpython hg transition the version attribute of tkinter has been removed in python 3 and in the python 2.7 rc1 it does not contain a number anymore.

This breaks the py27-matplotlib build which parses version and expects a number:

see ​https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/commit/04b4e5091978 on how to fix it.
