Okay I want to try using this file matplotlib(http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/) in my python programming is it included in the fedora 17 repository or will I have to compile it from source? And if it is included what is it's file name?

It should be included in the repo. Try

yum install python-matplotlib

For future reference, Python has its own repository for libraries which can be used over yum. Yum will only install to the OS's build of python. So, for example, if you build an instance if 3.2, you can't use yum. Instead, you can use http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip/ which is a Python specific repository.
