Any suggestions on installing matplotlib for Python 2.6.2 on a Windows
Vista platform?
Maintainers for some packages have run into a wall
compiling for 2.6. Matplotlib is one of these:

Another package I care about is SimpleParse, which also
found compiling for 2.6 to be impossible. I do not know
if this was the same problem or not, but it means that
SimpleParse is *still* not available as an installer for 2.6.
I assume this is of great concern to the Python community,
but I do not know where the discussion is taking place.
Some discussion has occurred in the issue tracker:
http://bugs.python.org/issue3308
http://bugs.python.org/issue6007
In general, the people responsible for how CPython builds on Windows
don't seem to consider this an issue.
