Agree about python-matplotlib but it has several gui backends
and distributions are free to link python-matplotlib to some/most/all of
them. I think its not a good idea to link SugarPlatform to qt/wx/tk.

Anyway distros are free to add it to SP package - for example
SoaS (moreover it seems that matplotlib package from fedora requires only
gtk backend)
