An underlying problem (likely outside matplotlib) is causing a NameError when trying to raise a FileNotFoundError in python2:

...snippet...
  File "/home/duncan.macleod/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/dviread.py", line 150, in _read
    self._dispatch(byte)
  File "/home/duncan.macleod/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/dviread.py", line 233, in _dispatch
    self._fnt_def(k, c, s, d, a, l, n)
  File "/home/duncan.macleod/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/dviread.py", line 390, in _fnt_def
    raise FileNotFoundError("missing font metrics file: %s" % fontname)
NameError: global name 'FileNotFoundError' is not defined

Looks like there needs to be a six.PY3 check to define this exception if required.

Thanks for reporting this.

Please be aware that mpl2.0 onward will not support py2.6 and numpy will be dropping 2.6 in numpy 1.12.
