When I tried to execute the histogram demo [1], I get this traceback [2].

So, it turned out after I asked the question on SO [1] that it is an issue with font_manager.py (/usr/lib64/python3.3/site-packages/matplotlib/font_manager.py). I had to set USE_FONTCONFIG = False in this module and it worked.
