Most likely you are trying to run matplotlib in the dir you installed
it in.  Switch to a different directory and try again.  If you run
from the same dir that matplotlib is installed in, you can only see
the python files and not the extension code (eg _transforms)

This is normal.  When you try and import a package a second time after
it has already failed, nothing happens (no error the second time).
This doesn't tell you anything useful though.

Your best bet is to cd into the matplotlib examples dir and try

  > python simple_plot.py

and see if this works.

Good luck!
