New description:

 due to the cpython hg transition the version attribute of tkinter has been
 removed in python 3 and in the python 2.7 rc1 it does not contain a number
 anymore.

 This breaks the py27-matplotlib build which parses version and expects a
 number:

 see https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/commit/04b4e5091978 on how to
 fix it.
