[sugar] Matplotlib vs PyCha

[Arjun Sarwal]

Interestingly pytz is actually just 600kB and not 6MB! It is wrongly
written here :)
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/5320110/com/pytz-2006p-2.fc7.noarch.rpm.html

So on the disk, after installation of python-matplotlib and pytz, the
total extra space taken was 7MB,

The examples are about 1.5MB in matplotlib, so taking those out should
further reduce things by 1.5MB
