[Matplotlib-devel] [Wheel-builders] Manylinux external library test case - matplotlib, tk

[Olivier Grisel]

Note that PyQt5 developers have released binary wheels for all the
supported platforms (windows, OSX and Linux via manylinux1):

pip install --upgrade PyQt5
https://pypi.io/project/PyQt5 (the legacy pypi index is broken at the moment).

I tested it with:

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('PyQt5')

and it seems to work as expected.

That does not solve the tkinter issue but at least provides an
alternative (if you accept the terms of the GPL v3 license).
