Hi Vinj,

What version of MPL are you using? Have you tried to remove your 
site-packages/matplotlib directory, and install from a fresh tarball (or are 
you using rpm)?

By the way, "from matplotlib.matlab import" statements are deprecated. You 
should start using "fom matplotlib.pylab import ..." or simply "from pylab 
import ..."
