Once matplotlib hits 1.0 there will be a concerted effort to get it into
Debian. It's still under such heavy development that it's a bit of a
moving
target right now.

Haha, that was fun. Talk about a quick answer(s). :slight_smile:
On a related note, does anyone know the plan for bringing matplotlib
into debian proper? There are still some sites pointing to the
mentors.debian.net site which made me think someone was working on
becoming a maintainer. It took me a few minutes to realize that is an
unofficial debian site.

Dear Andrea:

The packages can be obtained at

# Matplotlib binaries
deb http://anakonda.altervista.org/debian packages/
deb-src http://anakonda.altervista.org/debian sources/

Cheers,

Hi all,
I'm interesting in python plotting libraries.
matplotlib seems quite interesting, but I'm not able to install it on
my computer.
There is a deb package for this python module?
bye
adm.

do you know the answer to this as you talk with the matplotlib guys.

Debian. It's still under such heavy development that it's a bit of a
moving target right now.

I would have posted the question to matplotlib-devel had I realized that my answer was going to be presented as a credible opinion on a Debian mailing list. Instead, I just called it as I see it: Debian's release cycle is too slow to accommodate the current pace of matplotlib's development.

Please let me know if you are aware of any efforts to get matplotlib into the Debian distribution or if you feel I have misrepresented the situation, and I will happily get the word out.
