Hmm, very good point. Mainly it was due to a general suspicion of fink and the desire to use it as little as possible. Partly it was due to the fact that my fink was long overdue for a selfupdate, and this was masking the fact that recent versions of all these things were available. So I selfupdated and installed matplotlib-py25 via fink. Initially I got bus errors whenever importing pylab, but this turned out to be due to files hanging over from the previous matplotlib installation. After cleaning up and re-installing, it all works X11-ly.
