yeah I seem to remember there was a msg asking for my input on it and
I falied to reply, sorry about that

geez you're too quick! what I wanted to say is that we dont want to
anything contacting the internet, not that we actively prevent it. The
error in this case is probably that HTTPS is not correctly recognized
as a URL as you might need to use an SSL handler.

what I have in mind is a way to mark those tests as accessing the
internet and skipping them when running the unittest (something like
I'm doing at http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/reportbug/reportbug.git/tree/test/test_urlutils.py#n10
and http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/reportbug/reportbug.git/tree/Makefile#n12
but I am using the nosetest runner there).

this is how I run tests for mpl in debian:

ln 39-56 of http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/python-modules/packages/matplotlib/trunk/debian/rules?revision=34251&view=markup

will that this in a bit

I see the python extensions build in matplotlib/_path.so but then it
is not installed right? then that's the problem, as I run setup.py
install in a temp dir and then set the PYTHONPATH to that dir to pick
up the module.

in the meantime a new error came up, while building latex doc:

```
Adding blank page after the table of contents.

Thanks!
