Replying to [comment:15 jhpalmieri]:

matplotlib?

{{{$DOT_SAGE/matplotlib-$VER}}}.
Sounds like a good idea to me. (You should suggest similar upstream; they
could ''read'' {{{MPLCONFIGDIR}}} but ''write'' incompatible things to a
versioned subdirectory of that.)
> In case my idea works, when you install the matplotlib spkg, does it
need to know the value of {{{MPLCONFIGDIR}}}, or is it safe to set that
only after matplotlib has been installed?
I'm not sure if MPL writes anything to that during installation; it's
perhaps sufficient to set MPLCONFIGDIR before ''using'' MPL (i.e., after
installation) to fix the {{{TypeError}}} issue with parallel installations
of older versions.
