Tiago:  This will happen if matplotlib is installed as an egg, due to a 
bug in the way toolkits are installed.   Do you see a matplotlib*egg 
file in /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/ ?

If so, all I can suggest is reinstalling matplotlib the 'normal' way, 
i.e. python setup.py install.  This bug is fixed in svn so this won't 
happen with the next release.
