Hi,
I think that except for contourf3D everything is functioning fine
again, so I'm thinking about packaging/distributing it. (I will try to
fix contourf3D as well when I can find some time)

That sounds good. I assume you mean adding it to lib/mpl_toolkits in
the matplotlib source? It would be great to do this soon.
I also tried to create a separate mpl_toolkit installer with
setuptools, but can't get that to work properly:
In [2]: import mpl_toolkits.mplot3d
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mpl_toolkits/__init__.py:2:
UserWarning: Module mpl_toolkits was already imported from
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mpl_toolkits/__init__.pyc, but
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mplot3d-0.1-py2.5.egg is being added
to sys.path
__import__('pkg_resources').declare_namespace(__name__)
This can probably be fixed, but I would prefer things to live in the
matplotlib tree, and I'm willing to volunteer to support it.
Cheers,
