The minimum requirement of the 1.1 series is still Python 2.4, believe it or not, though I'm not sure practically what the minimum numpy is.

The next major release (which will include Python 3 support) bumps the minimum requirement up to Python 2.6.

    Hey everyone,

    I wanted to highlight Matthew Emmett's (memmett) PR in progress
    [1] that
    brings the ability to switch between rcParams.

    Matthew's implementation started with just being able to read in
    and use
    an rcParam file, and I suggested the idea of having a context manager,
    that would allow you to do something like:

     with rc_context(fname):
         plt.plot()
         ...

    and have the rcParams restored outside of the context.

    I know there have been a few threads (can't find links now for some
    reason) and in-person discussions in the past about having this
    kind of
    ability in matplotlib, and having an idea of "styles", and Tony Yu
    implemented a variant of this on top of matplotlib in mpltools
    [2], but
    I wanted to ping the list here for other ideas and feelings about such
    functionality (if anyone can find pointers to previous
    discussions, that
    would be very welcome).

You will need Python 2.5 or later to use the 'with' statement. I think that is already a requirement of matplotlib, and this page--which says 2.4--is not up to date:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/installing.html
I'm sure the minimum version of numpy given there (1.1) is also wrong.
