Matplotlib 0.63.4 requires python 2.3.  It sounds like you have 
an earlier version of python that doesn't recognize False (I 
think this was introduced for python2.2, but I'm not certain).

You need python2.3.  You could either convince the admin to 
install this or install a private copy of python2.3 in your 
own directory.
