First, the end of the large log showed:

Second, and more importantly, the folder showed:
removematplotlab.exe,
which I now see below. According to the Add/Remove icon in CP, there is
no MPL removal method. What next?
Since it seems unlikely the installer was an msi, what sort of
installer was this?
When I try to execute it, it says this program is normally started by
windows. I did another search on uninstall and came up with my posts,
and in one case instructions how to do it, but not a word about the
removematplotlab.exe program. Another Google gets me to
>http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools>,
which
advertises
uninstall, but doesn't look like it delivers.
I see I'm once again the the python tutor world of crazy world of

Well, I missed this.
Install setuptools using the provided .exe installer. If you've previously
installed older versions of setuptools, please delete all setuptools*.egg
and setuptools.pth
files from your system's site-packages
directory
(and any other sys.path
directories) FIRST.
This is a far cry from the idea of simplicity!
I'm now using IDLE's path browser. I see matplotlib egg under
site-packages by not pth. But there are some pylab py,pyc, pyo files
there, which are part of MPL.
Ah, the egg file gives the e-mail address of MPL. Maybe he'll know.
Why not just delete .../lib\site-packages?
At this rate, I might as well uninstall PY2.5 and start again.
