It first looks in the current working dir and then in ~/.matplotlib
Try running a sample script with --verbose-helpful and it will tell
you which file is being read...

I copied the matplotlibrc file from the source in svn; here is what I get using --verbose-helpful:

Chris,
My guess is that you have some combination of 0.87.7 and svn; the traceback says 0.87.7, and the KeyError is because of an addition to rcParams since 0.87.7.
Try this:
In [1]:import matplotlib
In [2]:matplotlib.rcParams
Out[2]:
{'axes.axisbelow': False,
'axes.edgecolor': 'k',
'axes.facecolor': 'w',
'axes.formatter.limits': (-7, 7),
'axes.grid': False,
'axes.hold': True,
etc. etc.
If you don't see the axes.formatter.limits key then your __init__.py is not from svn. Maybe the thing to do is delete all versions and traces of matplotlib from your system and then re-download and install.
