Hi. I've been trying to port an application to older distros such as RH3 without much luck. I'm using numpy and pylab. I can usually get numpy installed but pylab has lots of dependencies on gtk2 and other things. What's the minimal backend to use to eliminate, as much as possible, the dependencies on distro stuff? Relatedly, is it possible to make a static build of pylab that can be included with my app? And finally, could somebody explain what buffer objects are and how they can be used to increase performance?
