matplotlib crash on Mac OS X.5 PPC

Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))
With python3.5 and py35-matplotlib @1.5.1_3+cairo as installed by Macports, the following minimal code :
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
plt.figure()
x=np.linspace(1,2)
plt.plot(x,x**2)
plt.savefig('sqr.pdf')
gives the following error :
machdep: class is not implemented terminate called after throwing an instance of 'char*' Abort trap
This happens on a Mac OS X.5 PPC computer, and is likely PPC related : the bug does not happen on an Intel Machine. The bug does also not happen with py34-matplotlib @1.3.1_4 (although the warning 'machdep: class is not implemented' is issued, the script does not crash and the expected figure is saved).
Note that I reported another bug (closed: wontfix) with Matplotlib 1.4.x on ticket:48727. I guess I'm stuck with matplotlib 1.3 for the future :-(

I don't know what to tell you. PPC is old hardware that can't even get a new Mac OS and matplotlib doesn't really seem interested in supporting that. If someone can patch this to work for you then I can try to incorporate that into the portfile.
In the future, please Cc the port maintainers (
port info --maintainers py-matplotlib), if any.
