  Description     : Pure Python implementation of Qwt

 The qwt package is a pure Python implementation of Qwt C++ library
 with the following limitations.
 .
 The following `Qwt` classes won't be reimplemented in `qwt` because most 
 powerful features already exist in `guiqwt`:
   * QwtPlotZoomer
   * QwtCounter
   * QwtEventPattern
   * QwtPicker
   * QwtPlotPicker
 .
 QwtClipper is not implemented yet (and it will probably be very
 difficult or impossible to implement it in pure Python without
 performance issues).  As a consequence, when zooming in a plot curve,
 the entire curve is still painted (in other words, when working with
 large amount of data, there is no performance gain when zooming in).


This package will be maintain under the debian-science umbrella.
It is a requiered dependency for the new guiqwt package.
