Just in case you're not aware there are separate mailing lists for numpy 
and matplotlib, presumably scipy as well, should you have specific 
questions.  Further matplotlib is now at version 1.2rc3 with Python 3 
support, yippee.  Combine that with the recently released Python 3.3 and 
it should make one hell of a tool kit :)
