Besides the suggestion Andrew made, I can only say what my approach is
on such matters: I use ubuntu (basically debian stable from X months
ago), and then I keep in ~/usr/local a fully configured subsystem with
$PATH, $PYTHONPATH, etc, and then do

python setup.py install --prefix=~/usr/local/

for all packages that I need in newer versions than what's in ubuntu
(numpy,  scipy, cython, matplotlib, networkx, sympy).

Cheers,
