With the file you sent, I can see the messed up footer in xpdf, but not

completely support the PDF spec, and this may be one of them.
I installed acroread and I was also able to view everything fine with it
whereas xpdf and evince showed the bug.
Creating my own files, however, I'm not able to reproduce this here.
Hmmm. This would imply that your versions somehow do something that makes xpdf
happy.
When I compile your test.tex, I get an error, even though it seems to
have loaded the python.sty file. Not sure why (see attached log).
Looks like it doesn't know what \begin{python} means. Did you put python.sty
in the same directory as text.tex?
When I generate the plots offline, and then hack test.tex to simply
include the files, everything works fine, and I don't see a problem with
the footers with either xpdf or acroread.
I see the problem with xpdf when I simply include the plots which means that
python.sty was just a red herring. python.sty isn't the problem.
There was a recent bug discovered in matplotlib where PDF files weren't
always getting flushed completely. I don't *think* that's the cause of
this, but if you could reproduce what I did (generate the plots
independently of TeX and then load them), and that works for you, that
might point to something like that.
xpdf still croaks for me. Perhaps using the bleeding edge of matplotlib would
fix? I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 which has python-matplotlib version
0.91.2-0ubuntu1.
There was also a bug a few months back where xpdf didn't like the way
matplotlib handled reusing the same graphic multiple times (which is
used for markers). That may be why you're seeing the footer bug and I'm
not -- you didn't mention which version of matplotlib you're running, so
it's hard to say.
Here's my versions of all the various moving pieces:
pdfTeX (Web2C 7.4.5) 3.14159-1.10b
kpathsea version 3.4.5
Copyright (C) 1997-2003 Han The Thanh.
Beamer 3.00
python 2.5.2
matplotlib SVN (today)
Acroread 8.1.1
xpdf 3.00
Here is what I got:
Beamer 3.07-1
python 2.5.2
matplotlib 0.91.2-0ubuntu1
Acroread 8.1.2_SU1
xpdf 3.02-1.3ubuntu1
Ironically, all my stuff is newer than yours except for matplotlib. Sounds
like bleeding edge of matplotlib must be tried next.
That python.sty stuff looks really cool, by the way. I haven't come
across it before.
Glad I could help!

My best guess is that when the elements of the plot are in a particular order, the last drawn element has some setting that is not getting reverted back when going back to the LaTeX part of the slide. In general, matplotlib doesn't explicitly try to be careful about state in its output since it is really the embedding applications job (in this case Beamer/LaTeX) that is supposed to ensure that anything it embeds does not have external side effects. But I've never tried this combination of python.sty/Beamer/LaTeX personally. Can you send us the output of your plot on its own (ps or pdf...)?
