Ariel: This tells me you really didn't install it, or you installed it

So - still no version update. I ran:
'easy_install matplotlib', which somehow seems to change the path
setting to find the most recent version of things (maybe someone here
can tell me how this happens?) now:
I am not sure that Ariel didn't install things right. He might be a
victim of setuptools' monkey patching of sys.path.
That depends. When doing a "python setup.py install" where setup.py's
setup() function is imported from setuptools instead of distutils, then
the setuptools install command deactivates any other eggs in the python
environment, installs a "distutils" style install of the project in
question, creates an .egg-info file in the install directory which acts
just like a .egg, and finally updates the easy-install.pth in that
install directory to reflect that the new install is active.
If the setup.py uses the setup() function from distutils, then none of
that happens and Gael is right. Any previous install of matplotlib via
setuptools will go to the front of the sys.path and the new install
won't be seen.
