Please update matplotlib to v.2.0.x I have compiled it myself under 11.1 with no patches applied, and it seems to work fine.
Created attachment 186808 [details] patch
Please test your patch by, e.g., running portlint. The distinfo hasn't even been updated in this patch. It may also be worth creating a separate py-matplotlib2 port in case people want the previous stable version.
(In reply to mainland from comment #2) mainland@apeiron.net, Why don't you submit a patch? You are listed as a maintainer. -) Yuri

This update broke py-matplotlib on headi386. Why was it committed?
(In reply to Antoine Brodin from comment #7) Builds on 10i386, 11amd64, 12amd64 were fine. I didn't build on 12i386. Building on 12i386 now.
I confirm the build on 11amd64. I have also been using it with no problems.
Build errors on 12 i386 look like C++ errors. Reported to the upstream: https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/10698
