Out of curiosity, what is it from pythonxy that would make you want it
rather than the stock packages? Or are you just thinking of it as a
quick way to get latest version of the various packages onto your
machine? (I do understand the issue that Ubuntu lags
numpy/scipy/matplotlib releases quite a bit.)
