I unzipped it in a download directory, changed the directory to that folder, and ran the commands again...and it did not put a matplotlib folder under site-packages. Is there a step-by-step method on the website that shows how to do this? But all I really want is the changes that Jae Joon made as mentioned above. Is there a way to just grab them from the new folders? (I thought not because the folder structure from what I downloaded from git master doesn't match the folder structure I had from mpl 1.0, downloaded from the main mpl page).
