It looks like you're trying to use the Wx backend, where usetex is not supported.
See here for a matrix of which features are supported with each backend: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/backends.html Set the backend setting in your matplotlibrc file or call "matplotlib.use" at the top of your script.
