I wonder what the plan should be for recipes for MPL and the like. As 
Bob mentioned, perhaps it's best for the developer to find a way to 
manually include what they want, as there is a LOT of stuff in MPL (and 
certainly SciPy!) and much of will not be used by a given application.

It seems the only way to make a recipe that is useful would be for it to 
include EVERYTHING. That may not be a bad default, but there should 
certainly be a way to turn it off if need be.

Is there an incantation to turn off a recipe?

Also, I got a numpy app to work yesterday by using:

packages=['numpy']


That then includes the entire numpy package. That works, but it puts in 
a lot of stuff I don't need (dft, linear_algebra, etc). Maybe the recipe 
should include only the core stuff, and let the user add the extra 
packages, if need be.

Or should numpy be fixed so that it doesn't do weird imports?
