Review:

Everything looks good except for four minor issues:

Bad:

- Should be named python-matplotlib
- No need for Requires: python (rpm picks it up as python(abi) = 2.4)
- changelog entry is missing a version
- Several directories are created but not owned by the package (this is
a pitfall of using a fileslist for the %files). You need to add:

%dir %{_libdir}/python2.4/site-packages/dateutil
%dir %{_libdir}/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib
%dir %{_datadir}/matplotlib

Hooray! I don't think any of the e-o-l encoding is dangerous, unless
otherwise corrected, I'll assume these errors are safe to ignore. You
should put a version on your changelog though.

Good:

- Package meets PackagingGuidelines (except for minor naming issue)
- License (Python Software Foundation License) is ok, spec license
matches actual license, license text included
- Spec is in American English, and is legible
- Sources match upstream
- Package compiles and builds on x86 (FC4)
- Package has no extra BuildRequires
- Package is not missing any BuildRequires
- No locales to handle
- No shared library
- No need for -devel, -docs subpackages
- Not relocatable
- No duplicate files in %files
- %clean section included
- package is code, not content
- nothing runtime required in %doc
- no pkgconfig files, or static libraries, or headers
- no .la files

Push a new spec that makes those changes and I'll approve it.
