TkAgg backend on macOS aborts #410

Closed tkf closed 5 years ago

tkf commented 5 years ago

It seems that there are problems using TkAgg in macOS: https://github.com/JuliaPy/PyPlot.jl/issues/405 https://github.com/JuliaPy/PyPlot.jl/issues/399 https://github.com/JuliaPy/PyPlot.jl/issues/253#issuecomment-441479989 https://discourse.julialang.org/t/pyplot-installation-error-related-to-libpython3-7m-dylib-and-libsystem-kernel-dylib/17649

Upstream issues: https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/7743 https://sourceforge.net/p/tktoolkit/bugs/3082/

How about removing :tk from the list of GUIs to try in macOS? Or maybe move it to the end?

https://github.com/JuliaPy/PyPlot.jl/blob/daadae458ecb696e29c45636d91a9e7b7eddc246/src/init.jl#L50-L60

I also suggest to install pyqt in build.jl using https://github.com/JuliaPy/PyCall.jl/pull/613

Is this still an issue? On my MacOS machine with Conda PyPlot defaults to qt5 already

tkf commented 5 years ago

Reading the conda recipe it still looks like matplotlib does not install pyqt by default? https://github.com/AnacondaRecipes/matplotlib-feedstock/blob/f5ecb6832741888ab853ac92345d9fc4124de5d0/recipe/meta.yaml#L56

Also, the fact that :tk comes before :qt5 means that this problem would pops up once tk is installed via some other dependencies.

But I don't have macOS so I can't check the situation myself. So, if you (or other macOS users) think it's already fixed then I don't have any reasons to stop closing this issue.

Changed to put tk last since this seems to still be an issue.

This seems to be fine these days, at least with the Conda tkinter package which is nowadays the default on MacOS.
