Description
The matplotlib on my machines cannot work with LaTeX because of
File "/export/opt/python/2.7.8/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib-1.4.2-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/matplotlib/texmanager.py", line 78, in dvipng_hack_alpha
lines = stdout.decode('ascii').split('\n')
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc5 in position 43: ordinal not in range(128)
The code clip:
def dvipng_hack_alpha():
try:
p = Popen(['dvipng', '-version'], stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE,
stderr=STDOUT, close_fds=(sys.platform != 'win32'))
stdout, stderr = p.communicate()
except OSError:
mpl.verbose.report('No dvipng was found', 'helpful')
return False
lines = stdout.decode('ascii').split('\n')
I think decode('ascii') code does not support non-ascii characters , while dvipng indeed prints one (the Author name) in some versions:
