Maybe, way in the future there will be source-based custom Fedora builds
where all the OS code and the packages will be build from their repositories
according to one's need. For the time being I like following these three
easy steps on my FC12 for the latest matplotlib:
svn co
https://matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/matplotlib/trunk/matplotlibmatplotlib
python setupegg.py develop (one time only)
svn up
It's good to see some other fellow Fedora users around in these lists. It
will somewhat off-the-topic but what are your impressions of Python and FC13
combination?
