The script works for me with matplotlib-1.2.1 both with Python2 and with 
Python3 with the MacOSX backend.
To rule out the usual culprit, is your Python3 installed as a framework?

key_press_events in the script fail on my mac running OS X 10.8, python 3.3.2 
from python.org and with both matplotlib 1.2.1 installed with pip and 
matplotlib-1.3.0rc2 from the matplotlib.org download page

They do work with the latest matplotlib 1.4 from github
