thanks for the links, i will dig some more, i know this isnt really a 
python issue, but i thought that since debian is popular, matplot is 
most peoples recommendation for graphing, and it is for python.......
figgured i may not be the only one to run into this brick wall.
anyway, thanks for your time, maybe an upgrade to 'testing' will help 
for this package.
ok, thanks much.
