I think the problem might be related to using numarray and not numpy.
matplotlib is not heavily tested (if at all) on anything but numpy anymore.
See this from your output log:
D:\Program
Files\Python-2.5.1\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\numerix\__init__.py:65:
DeprecationWarning: numarray use as a numerix backed for matplotlib is
deprecated
DeprecationWarning, stacklevel=1)
Indeed, using "float" as a type specifier works with numpy but not with
numarray.
Try setting your "numerix" setting to "numpy" in your matplotlibrc file.
If there are good reasons that you need to keep using numarray (for
compatibility with your own code for instance), please mention that on
this list -- there may be workarounds.
Cheers,
Mike
