I've recently updated my Ubuntu to the 13.10 version. To my surprise, Ipython and Matplotlib are available only in versions prior to those I had in my previous 12.04 LTS install.

When with the 12.04, I had the Julian Taylor PPA set up in my repositories, and that's why (I think) I had most up-to-date versions from both packages.

The versions currently in 13.10 are:

Matplotlib: 1.2.1 (http://matplotlib.org/index.html, most current version is 1.3.1)

Ipython: 0.13.2 (http://ipython.org, most current version is 1.1.0 – September 2013)

Is there any PPA available for the 13.10? The JTaylor ppa covers only as far as 12.10 (Quantal, link not available due to reputation rank in stack exchange)

Should I install those packages outside apt? Isn't that troublesome?
