I assume you are using use *before* you import matplotlib.matlab? Eg
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('WX')
import matplotlib.matlab ...
ANd you are running your script from the shell. In an IDE, if
matplotlib.matlab has already been imported, and you rerun your script
from the IDE, your 'use' calls will be w/o effect. Thus it's
important to test from a shell (tough on win32, I know), or double
click the script to insure a new python interpreter.
I'm on the road en route to the SciPy conference, so will be mostly
out of touch for a few days....
Hope this helps,
