Perhaps providing the code with specific versions of Python, numpy etc. 
would help.

I would guess that aquarius_test.py has not correctly setup the 
necessary inputs (or has invalid inputs) required by matplotlib (which I 
have no knowledge about). Really you have to find if the _A in cmp.py 
used by 'self.norm.autoscale_None(self._A)' is valid. You may be missing 
a valid initialization step because the TypeError exception in 
autoscale_None ('You must first set_array for mappable') implies 
something need to be done first.
