Hi Sandro, Are you sure? After an initial apt-get purge, I checked, and indeed /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/matplotlib/ remained in place as you imply. I then moved matplotlib* in the above directory out of the way, and sure enough python then fails to import. When I re-install however, it is placed in exactly this directory:
