Have you seen the documentation on 

  http://matplotlib.sf.net/installing.html

In particular, you need to make sure that your backend, shell, and
interactive setting all are harmonious.  One suggestion: in your rc
file, try setting 'backend : TkAgg' and 'interactive : True' in your
http://matplotlib.sf.net/matplotlibrc file.  Also, beware of using
matplotlib from a GUI IDE which uses a different GUI toolkit than the
one you've selected in your rc file.  I realize this is complex -- but
I think it is part and parcel of the curse of python.  python supports
6+ GUI toolkits and so matplotlib does too!  If the GUI mainloop and
matplotlib mainloop don't agree, bad things can happen.
