On fedora core 2 with f2py2e cvs from 2004-10-04, resp. F2PY-2.43.239_1835,
python setup.py bdist_rpm --fix-python 
fails with output:

scipy CVS from 2004-10-04

 from scipy import plt
 import gui_thread
 gui_thread.start()
 plt.plot((1,2,3))

fails with:

Btw, scipy.test() fails with scipy CVS from 2004-10-04:
