You must use the use command before importing matplotlib.matlab, as
described on http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/backends.html

  >>> import matplotlib
  >>> matplotlib.use('Agg')
  >>> from matplotlib.matlab import *

Note that if you are using an IDE like pycrust, pythonwin, or IDLE,
matplotlib.matlab may have already been loaded, and subsequent calls
to use or 'from matplotlib.matlab import *' will have no effect unless
you explicitly force a module reload.
