to run tests I use:

python -c "import matplotlib as m ; m.test(verbosity=1)"

In debian I use:

./make.py --small all

what do you mean?

well, yes, the doc is huge (the debian package size is 52M compressed)
and that is good; --small helped reducing the package size, setting

    if small_docs:
        options = "-D plot_formats=\"[('png', 80)]\""

which reduced the type and size of the output images.

I used the 1.1.0 version to build with the fink Python installation on MaxOS X 
and everything seems to work there, passing the tests at least (does pylab.test('full') 
execute all tests? It seems a rather small number…). 

I have another question - I am trying to build a fink package with the documentation 
and am wondering if "python make.py --small html" actually has any effect? 
This still creates more than 70 MB of documentation, 24 MB in the _images subdir 
alone, which increases the .deb size by a factor of ~2.5. How are you handling this 
for the Debian package?
