Hi, Sorry for those of you on the numpy mailing list - this email will seem a bit familiar.
I want to rename the matplotlib wheel OSX wheel files on pypi so they will also install into homebrew, macports and system python. I'm just doing this now for numpy and scipy, but I wanted to make sure y'all had no objections for matplotlib. The logic of the renaming is explained here: https://github.com/MacPython/wiki/wiki/Spinning-wheels Basically, by adding extra 'platform tags' to the wheel filename, we can signal to pip that the wheel is compatible with these other systems. The page above explains why the wheels I built are compatible with the other Pythons, and this test grid: https://travis-ci.org/matthew-brett/scipy-stack-osx-testing/builds/26482436 confirms that the renamed wheels install and test OK on homebrew, macports, system python. So, I propose to rename the current matplotlib python 2.7 wheel from: matplotlib-1.3.1-cp27-none-macosx_10_6_intel.whl to matplotlib-1.3.1-cp27-none-macosx_10_6_intel.macosx_10_9_intel.macosx_10_9_x86_64.whl and so on for python 3.3, 3.4. I don't think this has a downside, but I'm happy for any feedback, Cheers, Matthew ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
