My view is that a software package should not distribute and install its
own dependencies.
I think matplotlib should have a list of dependencies (Python 2.2+,
Numeric or numarray, ...) which it requires before it attempts an
install, and a list of optional dependencies (pytz, dateutil, ...) which
matplotlib supports if it finds they are already installed.

Steve
I second that.
