New package for Matplotlib 1.4

[rexissimus]

Adds updated package for matplotlib 1.4+

• New parser that supports numpy docstrings
• New codepath is matplotlib14. Old package has unchanged codepath (So it will still be used when importing to other packages).
• Old and new package will be loaded on matplotlib <v1.4 and >=v1.4, respectively.
• New matplotlib package version is 1.1.0
• Upgrading from old package should in most cases work automatically.
• Downgrading is not supported.
• Currently you have to load the correct package version manually if the wrong one is tried first. Maybe we should try to load all codepaths for a package until one succeeds?

Might work to see version number in the list if there are two packages with the same name. For example

• matplotlib (1.3)
• matplotlib (1.4)

As a heads up, mpl 1.5 will be coming out in the next week or so as well.

The package works on the matplotlib 1.5 RC, but the parser needs to be updated. I fixed a bug where signatures in the documentation were not detected correctly. This is needed because a lot of autogenerated signature arguments now have None as their default value (like psd).

I added sorting for the ModuleSpecs. That doesn't seem to be enough, attributes are still not ordered, and in fact I get more than ordering differences when I generate twice in a row on my machine...

The diff between two consecutive runs of update.py (with matplotlib 1.5.0rc2+57.ga83dead) contains:

The module sorting needs to preserve the subclass hierarchy when generating the classes. This probably makes sense to keep in the xml spec as well, so I added this.

The diff you are seeing looks wrong. It looks like the diff code is sensitive to the order of ports, but I need to look more into that...

[rexissimus]

The faulty diff is fixed by bc096e4. An indexing bug caused the wrong spec to get deleted. I am surprised this bug has not been detected before. The new code must cause more deletions or index rearrangements.
