Hello Eric, Thanks to you, the problem is resolved!

Since you were convinced that mpl is not buggy, I decided to look at EPD. However, before that, and for the record, yes, I did try running your commands by saving them to a file and by invoking $Python foo.py in my bash shell (where Python was the 64-bit python or path to the 32-bit python). This still caused the crashes, and may not have helped in locating the actual snag. > Similarly, I doubt it is the case that EPD is simply broken.

There is a very recent thread in epd-users that is similar in flavor to my problem https://mail.enthought.com/pipermail/epd-users/2011-May/000379.html. As in that thread, I too had my DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH set to something in .profile, in my case simply /usr/local/lib. I do not know whether I set it (possibly for CVXOPT to work) or whether an earlier version of EPD installer or some other installer added it. In any case, not having it defined solved my problem (at least this one; don't know if it would break something else though!). By the way, I know that this particular environment variable has been around in my .profile for quite some time now, so I suspect that something changed in EPD 7.0-2 that causes the trouble (does not appear evident from their change log though). Again, for the record, less than three weeks ago, on EPD 7.0-1, everything was working smoothly. Also, I shall bring this discussion to the attention of those in the epd-users' thread.
