Thanks a lot for this bug report.
We are also having this issue on travis, but we were not able to reproduce
the error on our local machines. Can you give us more information on how
you installed python3.3 and your distribution?

Many thanks,
Nelle

Hello,

I'm getting this failure with Python 3.3 only:

FAIL: matplotlib.tests.test_basic.test_override_builtins

Traceback (most recent call last):

This is fixed by #2170 which is in master. It'll be sorted when we cut the 1.3.0 final, so I'm going to close this.

@sandrotosi Thanks for the report. It's great to see people running the tests.

@sandrotosi: when you get a chance, can you confirm #2170 fixes this for you? We saw it appear suddenly on Travis CI late last week, and we don't really know what may have changed in the Debian/Ubuntu Python 3.3 packages that would have created, only that it's benign, so we instead updated the tests. But your deeper Debian knowledge may offer some clues.

@dmcdougall that issue isn't really fixed - we're just ignoring the problem right now. It would be good to understand what is happening.

@mdboom I can confirm that with #2170 the failure is fixed (or at least it's no longer listed as a failure ;) )
