This error is 2.2 specific: littlewood[~]> python Python 2.2.2 (#1, Feb 24 2003, 19:13:11) [GCC 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-4)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> 'ab' in 'abcde' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

At this point, python 2.2 is old enough that many packages just don't support it anymore. Your only solutions would be to either update your python installation, or run an older version of matplotlib that was still 2.2-compatible (but I don't know what that would be).
