Re: [matplotlib-devel] 1.4.3 does not build on Ubuntu 14 with python3

pip still thinks I have the latest.   I think it's a question of how to force the matplotlib setup.py to use actually it.

Cleaning up...

I would just use pip. Ubuntu/Debian has really messed up the python environment in more ways than one.

The Ubuntu package manager tells me it is up to date.
If I download setuptools-14.3 and install, it goes into /usr/local/lib/ and
doesn't get used.
How do I force it to be used?
Or am I supposed to override the Ubuntu package manager?
