Fink only knows about versions which our maintainers have explicitly
made available--the fact that there is a later upstream version
indicates that our maintainer hasn't updated the Fink graphviz package yet.

Fink shows an 'i' for

1) "graphviz" doesn't contain any python bindings.
2) We _do_ have python bindings for graphviz, however.  Try installing
"pygraphviz-py27".
3) Fink doesn't install in /usr/local, so your script won't work as is.
 Use "dpkg -L pygraphviz-py27" to show where pygraphviz-py27 installs
its packages and you can modify your script appropriately.
