What do you mean the unit tests are missing?  They don't run?  Can you 
send the output from nose?

Glad to hear about the installer building the macosx backend -- that was 
pretty serious when it wasn't doing that.

I thought you were including pytz and dateutils in your installer. Is 
that not the case?  If not, isn't it enough to document that matplotlib 
now doesn't ship with these dependencies, and they will need to be 
installed using pip or other means?  Can they be installed afterward and 
have things work?

Mike

Get your SQL database under version control now!
Version control is standard for application code, but databases havent 
caught up. So what steps can you take to put your SQL databases under 
version control? Why should you start doing it? Read more to find out.
