You will also need to change the default paper size in backend ps
before using it

    import matplotlib.backends.backend_ps as ps
    ps.defaultPaperSize = 8.26771, 11.69291 # A4 width and height in inches

    import pylab
    ...and now make your plot...

Darren and I were discussing making this an rc parameter, so hopefully
this will be easier in the next release.

I committed the changes in cvs. There is now a validated ps.pagesize option
in .matplotlibrc, which defaults to 'letter'.
