Thanks.  I'm going to have some surgery early next year, which will  
hopefully fix things.  I intend to have WxMpl working again and safely  
in matplotlib's repository before then, as I'll be effectively offline  
for six months or so, at least in terms of writing code.

Yes, I've had his email with the patch flagged in Mail.app for  
approximately forever.  Thanks for sending me a patched copy of  
wxmpl.py, too.  It'll be very helpful in figuring out the sort of  
changes I need to make.

Thank you very much for your kind words.  :-)
