I'm somewhat grasping at straws here: the Ubuntu-packaged matplotlib
works for me on Hardy.
Thanks. Ubuntu puts the matplotlib data files in a separate package,
python-matplotlib-data. That *should* have installed automatically
alongside python-matplotlib, but you may want to try forcing that:
sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib-data
If that fails, try reinstalling both python-matplotlib and
python-matplotlib-data.
sudo apt-get install --reinstall python-matplotlib
The second error also seems like another instance of the same: the
python-dateutil package should be installed.
Cheers,
Mike
