Not sure about the bsp example ...

Try the following

  wget http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/mpl3d.zip
  unzip mpl3d.zip
  cd 3d/
  python mplot3d.py --Numeric

There is a problem with numpy support, since when I ran the code with
numpy I got the following

Traceback (most recent call last):

  "/home/jdhunter/debs/matplotlib/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_gtk.py",

This is a common problem I have with switching code over to numpy. If
you are in the habit of using if myMatrix: as a way to check for an
empty matrix, numpy now throws this error. It could be replaced with
myMatrix.any(), but then I think there are problems if you use the
same code under Numeric or numarray.

sometrue() exists as a ufunc in both.
