Units examples broken

[dopplershift]

So far when running examples out of the units/ subdirectories, I see:

radian_demo.py:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "radian_demo.py", line 10, in <module>
    x = [val*radians for val in np.arange(0, 15, 0.01)]
  File "radian_demo.py", line 10, in <listcomp>
    x = [val*radians for val in np.arange(0, 15, 0.01)]
TypeError: __array_wrap__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'context'

artist_tests.py:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/rmay/repos/matplotlib/examples/units/basic_units.py", line 126, in __new__
    return object.__new__(subcls, value, unit)
TypeError: object.__new__(TaggedValue_of_int) is not safe, use int.__new__()

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "artist_tests.py", line 34, in <module>
    line = lines.Line2D([0*cm, 1.5*cm], [0*cm, 2.5*cm], lw=2, color='black', axes=ax)

    return TaggedValue(value, unit)
  File "/Users/rmay/repos/matplotlib/examples/units/basic_units.py", line 130, in __new__
    return object.__new__(cls, value, unit)

units_scatter.py:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/rmay/repos/matplotlib/examples/units/basic_units.py", line 126, in __new__
    return object.__new__(subcls, value, unit)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    xsecs = secs*np.ma.MaskedArray((1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8), (1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0), np.float)

    return object.__new__(cls, value, unit)

Anyone have any clues?

[dopplershift]

This is on OSX with Python 3.4 and Numpy 1.9.2

[jenshnielsen]

They have not been ported to python 3. I have an old stalled pr to fix that in #3838 However I don't think that is the right solution and haven't had the chance to more about it

[jenshnielsen]

This is mostly fixed by the merge of #3838 however we should probably rework how the meta classes are done

[dopplershift]

The examples all work on Python 3.6 with Numpy 1.13 on master. I'm closing this since the original problem is fixed.
