Using matplotlib: ImportError: No module named animation?

Question

I've tried using the EPD installation on Mac OS X, the apt-get install process on Ubuntu, and the EPD installation on Ubuntu.

In the python interactive interpretor:

>>> import matplotlib.animation as animation
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named animation

That import is used in this matplotlib example code:

FWIW, you should be able to update to matplotlib 1.1.0 or 1.2.0 using enpkg matplotlib [version].
