Hi,
Sorry to ask, but would y'all mind unblocking matlplotlib downloads from Cuba?
I just tried the download from here in Havana, and got:
403 Error – Forbidden
Your request is being denied as it appears to be coming from a
location banned by our Terms of Use.
That's because Sourceforge runs an opt-out blocking policy. If y'all
agree that there's no reason to block matplotlib downloads from Cuba,
China etc, would someone mind setting the 'this is not a cryptographic
program' setting in the sourceforge interface?
Thanks a lot,
Matthew

Done.
The relevant option in "export controls" is
This project does NOT incorporate, access, call upon, or otherwise use encryption of any kind, including, but not limited to, open source algorithms and/or calls to encryption in the operating system or underlying platform.
As far as I can see, mpl passes this test.

What about the path simplification or contouring source code? I would think that kind of intense code obfuscation would count as encryption...
