Alas, tried the easy_install matplotlib. It downloaded and installed
matplotlib, but didn't install wx, so I got this error:
>>> from pylab import *;
Traceback (most recent call last):

When I tried to use easy_install to install wxPython, I got this:
Computer:/Users/simsong root# easy_install wxPython

Why do we make this so hard?
The wyPython page for Mac says:
========
Mac OS X
wxPython needs a special Mac OS X-specific build of Python, called a
Framework build, in order to work. Panther and Tiger include a
Framework build of Python 2.3, but on Jaguar you'll need to get the
MacPython installer from Jack's MacPython page.
============
(I really can't keep track of all these cat names. )
Then I need to choose one of 8 different versions to install,
dependin gon whether I am using py2.3, 2.4 or 2.5, and whether I want
unicode or ansi, and whether I want PPC or Universal.
But I finally got it installed. Thanks.
