I'm sorry to report no change.  I uninstalled Numeric and matplotlib, 
and reinstalled both, and nothing has changed.  Am I the only one 
suffereing from this?  Isn't this impossible?

I tried this several times.  I uninstalled using the Control Panel Add 
and Remove feature, and then trashed the remaining directory.  I 
searched the registry for lurking remnants (there was a mention of an 
uninstaller and .matplotlibrc.  that's all.  I left those entries 
alone.) I checked .matplotlibrc... nothing obviously unusual, just 
numerix:Numeric.  A week ago I did a virus scan on the whole system, and 
ran spybot.  (I'll probably run those again tonight for good measure.)  
The version of Numeric that I installed is 23.6, the latest.  I'm using 
python 2.3.4

I changed axes.py to remove 'min' from the 'from numerix import ...' line.

Now it chokes on the very next line,
from numerix import max as nxmax

... and happy holidays.
