In general, matplotlib doesn't explicitly try to be careful about state in its output since it is really the embedding applications job (in this case Beamer/LaTeX) that is supposed to ensure that anything it embeds does not have external side effects.
But I've never tried this combination of python.sty/Beamer/LaTeX personally. Can you send us the output of your plot on its own (ps or pdf...)?
