I'm not able to tell the exact version

>>> import matplotlib
>>> matplotlib.__version__
'1.2.x'

but the creation date of the files that have been installed in site-packages is
Wednesday, ‎November ‎09, ‎2011, ‏‎5:09:50 AM

so before Nov 14th

I'm not able to build matplotlib myself.

Thanks,

Josef
