There are no Mac eggs for the current version of matplotlib. The
references to them are obsolete.
The file you found is the only option for MacOS X (presently). It
requires python.org's 32-bit Python 2.7, which is for MacOS X 10.3.9 and
later.
I just built an installer for python.org's 64-bit Python 2.7, which
requires MacOS X 10.6 and after a bit of testing I'll serve that.
