After installing matplotlib from the Window's binaries (a process which
goes off without a hitch), I get the following error when trying to use it:
Python 2.4.2 (#67, Sep 28 2005, 12:41:11) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Now, while I consider myself reasonably competant at sorting out errors
in python, I haven't a clue what this one means, let alone how to fix
it. Does anyone know what this means or how to fix it?
