Ok, I know what the problem is. I was using a sample
setup.py posted by Stef and in his setup, he created a
"mpl-data" subdirectory under "dist" to store all of
the data files use by matplotlib. That's why
matplotlib couldn't find it without a set statement.
After changing the name to "matplotlibdata",
everything works.
I also made changes to every one of the matplotlibrc
file I found in the installed copy of matplotlib to
invoke WXAgg - instead of TkAgg.
So for completeless, may be this will benefit other
matplotlib users, here's my py2exe script - tested
using python 2.3, latest wxpython and so forth.
Let say you wish to create an exe of the sample
multicolor.py program. Place multicolor.py in a
test\multicolor directory, and a copy of the following
script, have py2exe installed, and then just run it.
You will end up with a dist subdirectory under
test\multicolor and that's where you'll find
multicolor.exe.

You shouldn't need to do this. Note in
matplotlib.__init__.py, it looks
at a different folder if it is frozen by py2exe or
py2app or ...:
# py2exe zips pure python, so still need special
check
if getattr(sys,'frozen',None):
path =
os.path.join(os.path.split(sys.path[0])[0],
'matplotlibdata')
So, if you use the sample setup.py I posted a while
ago here
and on the
wxPython list it will create the matplotlibdata
folder in your
distribution (basically a copy of your mpl-data
folder) folder.

Hope the wall wasn't to hard, I always try this or
the wxPython list
after a day or two
.
See you
