Update installed Matplotlib version to 1.4.x

[astrofrog]

A few bugs in the plot directive were fixed in Matplotlib 1.4.x - would it be possible to update the already installed version to 1.4.x, and if not, would it be possible to install freetype2 so as to be able to compile matplotlib by specifying matplotlib>=1.4 in the pip requirements file? Thanks! :)

@astrofrog I was able to install/build matplotlib 1.4 from a pip requirements file: https://github.com/xray/xray/blob/master/doc/requirements.txt

I'm surprised that does not work for you.

Indeed it seems to work now - it must have been a temporary issue (or else this was updated on the server). Closing!

But does it work on Python-3?

My guess is no, but you'll have to test it for yourself.

I have been testing this the last 3 months.

Is it possible that it works sometimes, but not always?

Please reopen this issue, matplotlib still does not work on python3.

@ankostis - I think it would be best if you open a new issue for this, specifically about Python 3.
