The problem described in that bug report sounds similar to what happens if 
Python was not installed as a framework. The Mac OS X backend checks for that 
automatically, but the other backends do not as far as I know. If this is 
indeed the problem, we should consider checking this when importing matplotlib. 
I believe 

>>> import sysconfig
>>> sysconfig.get_config_var("WITH_NEXT_FRAMEWORK")

should do the job.

Beautiful is writing same markup. Internet Explorer 9 supports
standards for HTML5, CSS3, SVG 1.1,  ECMAScript5, and DOM L2 & L3.
Spend less time writing and  rewriting code and more time creating great
experiences on the web. Be a part of the beta today.
