python.org python installs into /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework
and its main site-packages directory is the line listed above.

That is where *all* packages get installed by default (e.g. by distutils 
or pip).

I suspect the original poster has a conflict with another version of 
python or another package management system such as homebrew. You can 
verify which python is running using "which python" (it should be 
/usr/local/bin/python, which is a symlink to a binary in 
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework,
or the actual binary itself, depending on your $PATH.

One can test matplotlib using:
python -c "import matplotlib as m ; m.test(verbosity=1)"

If that works then I suspect ipython is misinstalled.
