Raspberry Pi Mathgl causes system crash

[cfox]

Using Raspbian on the raspberry pi, importing the mathgl package in python causes the system to permanently hang. No user input via ssh is accepted (including CTRL-C to exit out of Python). The system hasn't technically crashed since it will still respond to pings, but it becomes completely unable to accept any commands.

I have noticed the same error in the matplotlibl module (see related bug report).

How to reproduce:
0. Install python-mathgl.
1. Run python interactively.
2. "import mathgl"

I've just tried and failed to reproduce this. Are you still having problems with python-mathgl on an up to date raspbian system with a recent kernel.

I've tried to reproduce this issue on both a wheezy (Pi 1B) and a jessie (Pi 2B) system ... and failed.
Furthermore this issue is 3+ years old without a response ...
Do you still want to keep this issue open?
