to run tests I use:

python -c "import matplotlib as m ; m.test(verbosity=1)"

In debian I use:

./make.py --small all

what do you mean?

well, yes, the doc is huge (the debian package size is 52M compressed)
and that is good; --small helped reducing the package size, setting

    if small_docs:
        options = "-D plot_formats=\"[('png', 80)]\""

which reduced the type and size of the output images.
