I would be happy to make the Mac binary builds for matplotlib (at least the ones I know how to make -- for python.org 32-bit). I personally suggest not building Mac eggs -- at least until easy_install gets really cleaned up. Right now it tends to try to download stuff it has no business downloading and it doesn't check for compatibility. The binary installer is much safer. But if you insist and have easy instructions I will do it. I suspect I didn't fully answer your question, but I'm not sure what else you want to know so I'll ask you to rephrase any remaining issues. I'm a bit worried about what will happen when I eventually upgrade my work computer to 10.6 (it's our last remaining 10.5 machine at the moment). But since I have ready access to 10.6 computers I should see if I can do a working build on 10.6 with the binaries I already created on 10.5. (That is likely to work, and may save a lot of trouble -- at least until those versions of libfreetype, etc. get old enough to need upgrading). I don't see myself going to 64-bit for a long time since I have to keep my work machine as compatible as possible. It is very exciting to hear that matplotlib 1.0 is so close.
