VS2003.Net is needed to easily build the python 2.4 version. (e.g.
python setup.py build)  You can also follow the mingw instructions for
a more open-source way of building matplotlib for windows.  We still
have to do this for python 2.3.  You can supposedly download the .net
compiler tools for free, but I haven't tried.  I am pasting my
previous post since I didn't re-all.
