It is not possible to run a commonly used scientific app (GSAS-II) that requires matplotlib and wxpython because the mpl backend files are missing.
To Reproduce
use dnf to install python, wxpython and matplotlib. Look in /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/matplotlib/backends. Note that this does not include all the files in https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/tree/master/lib/matplotlib/backends. In specific the backend_wx.py and backend_wxagg.py files are missing.
Expected behavior
Those files should be present. This is clearly a build or packaging issue.
