Error in plot-gui while saving image

[suuuehgi]

Good morning,

I just updated matplotlib and noticed an error (probably typo) in the plot-gui.
Using the Save the figure-Button, it returns

Format "png)')" is not supported.

for every supported format (replace png respectively).

Minimal working example:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np                                                                                                                  

a = np.arange(6).reshape((3, 2))

plt.plot(a[:,0], a[:,1], '*')

plt.show()

Specs: 3.16.1-1-ARCH with matplotlib version 1.4.0 via AUR

Thanks in advance!

This is a duplicate of #3454 which is fixed on both 1.4.x and master.

You can either build from master, patch you AUR source (via https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/3469.diff), or wait for 1.4.1 (targeting end of the month).

Thanks for the bug report.
