The OSX egg on SF should work fine on ppc and x86 machines on OS 10.3
and up. Unfortunately setuptools does not understand fat binaries at all

good one. That's the situation as it stands.

- Get matplotlib 0.98.3 egg from here [sourceforge]. Use easy_install to install the egg. It fails, but it installs fine. Why?
