Comment(by darkblueb):

 testing iPython and iPython notebook, things are good.
 The "pylab" side is not so good however. It seems that {{{matplotlib}}}
 should get an update (0.12 -> 0.13).

 Using pip install, shows :
 {{{
 sudo pip install -U matplotlib
 ...
 Downloading matplotlib-1.3.1.tar.gz (42.2Mb): 42.2Mb downloaded
 ...
 The required version of distribute (>=0.6.28) is not available...
 (Currently using distribute 0.6.24dev-r0 (/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-
 packages))
 ...
 }}}


 so, executed the following:
 {{{
 user at live-nightly79a:~$ sudo easy_install -U distribute
 user at live-nightly79a:~$ sudo apt-get install python-dev
 user at live-nightly79a:~$ sudo pip install -U matplotlib
 ...
 Successfully installed matplotlib numpy python-dateutil tornado pyparsing
 nose six backports.ssl-match-hostname
 Cleaning up...

 }}}
