Hi,
I have recently installed Python 32/64bit from Python.org and then I proceeded to install bumpy, scipy, matplotlib and igraph on it. But the Matplotlib does not show the plots even if it opens a Figure window. Here is a summary of what I had done in my installation:
···
-----
I first did a "clean install" by following the instructions at (with an idea to reinstall Matplotlib and see if the rror repeats):
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/installing_faq.html#clean-install
-----
So now my python does not have matplotlib:
Bedarthas-MacBook-Air:~ bedartha$ cd ~/Desktop/
Bedarthas-MacBook-Air:Desktop bedartha$ python
Python 2.7.2 (v2.7.2:8527427914a2, Jun 11 2011, 15:22:34)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
import matplotlib
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named matplotlib

Then I downloaded (again) the DMG file at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/files/matplotlib/matplotlib-1.1.0/matplotlib-1.1.0-py2.7-python.org-macosx10.3.dmg/download
-----
and installed Matplotlib (which seems to go through fine). But after that:
Bedarthas-MacBook-Air:~ bedartha$ cd ~/Desktop/

Here is the essential info about my machine and my Python and Matplotlib versions:
Bedarthas-MacBook-Air:~ bedartha$ uname -a

I also have the following alias (in ~/.bash_profile) for my Python2.7 (to deal with some issues in igraph):
alias python="arch -i386 python"

Can anyone please help me out?
Best regards,
and apologies for the lengthy post,
