The same trick should (hopefully) get 0.53.1 to work: get rid of the old 
matplotlib in site-packages before installing a new one. Probably some 
files from 0.52 are screwing up 0.53.1.

(This is a limitation of Python's distutils -- upgrades should really 
wipe the package out of site-packages rather than adding files.)
