Thanks for pointing it to a packaging issue, as matplotlib works very well after installing the missing packages. I don't know really the the issue, but I hope it gets sorted out. The earlier binaries had everything it needed on windows, so very convenient to users. I think problems like this could really discourage new users to try, particularly the inexperienced.
In my case, the matplotlib install was a clean install on a new machine, though I had used it often on other computers. It was installed after Python 2.7.8, numpy, scipy, and Vpython, so the problem had to be packaging rather than transitional, it'd would seem. One possibility is that with v1.3, we changed how packaging was done. Unfortunately, this did cause some transitional issues. The best bet is to uninstall *all* versions of matplotlib, pylab, and mpl_toolkits first, then re-install v1.3.1. Note that waiting for the v1.4 release wouldn't necessarily solve anything as it is the transition *from* older versions of matplotlib that is the issue rather than transitioning *to* newer versions.
