if you have only those rule, then just issue a

sudo iptables -F

to flus the whole iptables chains list rules; else, you have to:

sudo iptables -nL OUTPUT --line-numbers

take notes of the line number of those for MPL SF (the ip addresses are those in

$ host matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net
matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net has address 216.34.181.177
matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net has address 216.34.181.65
)

and then remove them:

sudo iptables -D OUTPUT <line number above>

(note that if you delete a rules, the following ones have linenumber changed...)
