(forgot to reply to list) Hi,
I'm guessing that you've wound up with a mix of a newer matplotlib py files and older matplotlib .so extensions, since polar stuff is a relatively new part of matplotlib AFAIK. Try completely removing /Library/Python/matplotlib/ and re-installing. As an alternative to installing it yourself, you can use the fink version (http://fink.sourceforge.net/) which is kept up to date. After installing fink just do "fink install matplotlib-py23" and use /sw/bin/python2.3 to run matplotlib stuff. I prefer using the fink version of python for this kind of stuff, it's easier to manage.
