You should see a path starting with /Library, NOT with /System/Library. If the path starts with /System/Library then that explains your problem: you are using the built-in python instead of the python from python.org (though the binary *may* work with other 3rd party pythons as well, e.g. Enthought or ActiveState). So, the steps are: - Download and install a suitable python from <http://python.org> (I recommend 2.6.x, but 2.5.x is also fine; we don't have a matplotlib binary for 2.7 yet because it is so new) - Download and install the matching matplotlib Mac binary (for Python 2.5 or 2.6).
