Comment (by benoit.rivet@…):

 After tracking down the bug down, I found out that the following import in
 the python3 console :

 {{{
 import matplotlib.font_manager
 }}}

 raises the fatal error

 {{{
 terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Py::Exception'
 Abort trap
 }}}

 Delving into font_manager.py, I tried and change line 66 from
 font_manager.py :

 {{{
 USE_FONTCONFIG = False
 }}}

 to

 {{{
 USE_FONTCONFIG = True
 }}}

 and everything seems to work fine, until I try to save a simple figure and
 the fatal 'Py:Exception' error shows up...
