I too a look at the page (assume PR is in); and Vincent’s code:
Neither works; I’m on Ubuntu 16.04, of course with Python [2.7.12] installed. Strange that PyPlot didn’t work to begin with, and (to me), I guess I was asking for Python install here, but not two versions… older python-2.7.11-0 and newer python-2.7.13 (and [more than one?] [mini]conda… and PyPlot still failes after…:
julia> withenv("PYTHON" => "") do
Pkg.build("PyPlot")
end

[PS. Is it only me, is Discourse slow? Annoyingly, order of letters that I type in, keep appearing in the incorrect order… I guess it’s a general [here: Brave beta w/“load average: 0,11”] browser issue (Chrome derivative; if I recall happened before with it and/or Firefox; what’s the best browser…?)… Happens on other websites, such as Quora (but not in the REPL).]
