yeah, it's a shame, but we are suffering of some tech issue we (mainly
Kumar) are trying to solve, and will be for Lenny release.

That's confirm my supposition that something weird is happening on
your system: on a clean lenny chroot, "ipyhton --pylab" works fine
(tested 5 mins ago).

I'm more convinced the problem is in your machine, and not in the mpl
package, but I'd like to hear even from pytz and dateutil maints what
they think about.
