It's true that the header and footer have circular links, but there is a 
useful link under the "Modules and Packages" section that leads to more 
content.  I used happydoc to generate those pages, and I guess it uses 
the same header and footer on each page.  So we should probably report 
it as a bug in happydoc :-)

Hmmm.  Gnuplot.py installs itself with distutils, which invokes whatever 
python is on your path then deduces the install directory from 
sys.prefix and sys.version.  Could it be that you are accidentally 
running and old version of python when installing?  For example, could 
it be that you are installing as root, and root has a different path 
than your normal user?

Just some ideas.  For further ideas, I suggest you provide more 
information (like which OS you are using!) and send your question to the 
Gnuplot-py-users mailing list (see sourceforge for details).  I have 
CCed this response there, too.

Good luck,
Michael
