Chris,  I'd be happy to test it out.  I've been looking into installing 
matplotlib on my PowerBook (system 10.3), but it is daunting since 
there's so much that it seems to need all working together (this is one 
problem I have with the way Python is implemented as open source, but 
that's for a later venting :-)  -- nothing against open source, 
certainly, and I Love Python ).  You can send it to me.  Even though I'm 
on travel my dialup should be able to handle it (at 5 MB it should take 
about 10 to 15 minutes -- maybe optimistic, but what the heck).  I 
really want a plotting package to round out my Python numerical 
calculation code.

If you have information on what you did to get it all to work together, 
please include that -- assuming you don't mind sharing that information.

I would love to host it, but my employer (the US Government) won't let 
me do that.

Thanks for doing this.
