I'm not sure we need GTK in that pipeline, since its future status is
in question and I think we'd rather have someone on tkagg or wxagg
than plain vanilla gtk.
I think in the autogen of matplotlib.conf, there are a few things you
could do to make the file much more readable.
* for the enumeration of options, print
# 'bilinear' or 'nearest' or 'bicubic' or 'spline16' or 'spline36' or 'hanni
# ng' or 'hamming' or 'hermite' or 'kaiser' or 'quadric' or 'catrom' or 'gau
# ssian' or 'bessel' or 'mitchell' or 'sinc' or 'lanczos' or 'blackman'
like
# bilinear | nearest | bicubic | spline16 ....
* For floating point numbers, use a str converter rather than a repr
converter, eg '%s'
In [4]: '%s'%0.1
Out[4]: '0.1'
In [5]: '%r'%0.1
Out[5]: '0.10000000000000001'
* I think your wrap algorithm is breaking in the middle of words. You
might look at cbook.wrap
In [15]: s = 'A regular expression used to determine the amount of
space to remove. It looks for the first sequence of spaces
immediately following the first newline, or at the beginning of the
string.'
In [16]: print cbook.wrap('', s, 76)
A regular expression used to determine the amount of space to remove. It
looks for the first sequence of spaces immediately following the first
newline, or at the beginning of the string.
