This is the source directory for matplotlib, which contains the

examples/README.txt for information
* setup.cfg.template - used to configure the matplotlib build process.
Copy this file to setup.cfg if you want to override the default
build behavior

matplotlibrc config file at build time. The matplotlibrc file will
be installed in matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc
