Jeanguillaume,

Which version of matplotlib did you install?  The axes3d.py examples use a
very new feature that wasn't available in previous versions.  The current
examples can run with older versions of matplotlib by replacing the .gca()
or the .add_subplot() line with

ax = axes3d.Axes3D(fig)

However, you would not be able to do any 3d subplotting examples without the
latest version of matplotlib.

I hope that clears things up.
