What about the debian based Quantian?
http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/quantian.html
Some time ago we did some effort to get scipy included.
Presently it does in addition include python 2.3, ipython, matplotlib,
python-vtk, wxgtk2.4-python, atlas2-base, PIL ...
More detailed list below and at
http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/quantian/quantian_0.6.9.3.quantian.packages.txt
