yep, its right there. very weird.  does matplotlib fiddle with sys.path 
or some such?

actually, it was right there in site-packages/matplotlib, which is what 
i assume you meant.  i accidentally installed matplotlib/examples in my 
site-packages folder and when i cleaned that up, i inadvertently removed 
the pylab you put up there.

so i re-installed matplotlib once more, and now pylab is up in 
site-packages, and the pylab examples run fine, after i realized i 
needed to change the backend again in matplotlibrc -- i had deleted the 
one on Docs and Settings\ per your advice, and got bit   ;-)

there are two files there: matplotlibrc and matplotlib.conf. is there a 
selection principle for choosing one or the other?

i moved matplotlibrc to the indicated folder, set backed to WXAgg and 
some of the examples run. but i am getting failures finding pylab when i 
run the pylab examples:

$ python geo_demo.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "geo_demo.py", line 4, in 
from pylab import *
ImportError: No module named pylab

am not sure why the interpreter isnt finding pylab module even tho, for 
example,  examples/{api, animation} runs, with a few exceptions.
