It looks like you have a mixture of packages, some left over from using
the system Python 2.7 and, unfortunately, the system Python site-package
directory is included at the sys.path search path for other Pythons,
like the python.org Pythons. If you plan to just use the Python 2.7.9,
go to /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages and rm everything there. Then
use the 2.7.9 pip to install matplotlib. It should download and install
(to
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-pack
ages) the binary wheels for matplotlib and its dependencies, including
numpy, and all just work.
