Hi,
the recent dev-python/matplotlib-0.99.1.1-r1 contains the statement
RESTRICT_PYTHON_ABIS="3.*"

Does anybody know what that means?

Does it indicate that this package needs Python-3.x ?

(Reason, it fails here to install. I have masked Python-3.x here)

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

Thanks, then I'll have to make a bug report, since it fails on my
python-2.6.4 based system.
