Matplotlib suddenly crashes after reinstalling Xcode?

Question

I was happy in my world of python and matplotlib with a good level of familiarity. I notied Xcode on my Mac wasn't working so I installed the latest version from Apple and it somehow broke my install of matplotlib (or numpy?)! I'm now getting

...
/sw/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib-0.91.1-py2.5-macosx-
10.5-i386.egg/matplotlib/numerix/ma/__init__.py in <module>()
     14         print "using maskedarray"
     15     else:
---> 16         from numpy.core.ma import *
     17         #print "using ma"
     18     def getmaskorNone(obj):

ImportError: No module named ma

I've tried reinstalling numpy (Ver 1.3.0) and matplotlib (Ver 0.91.1) to no avail. Any ideas?

You're using Python from Fink, so Xcode doesn't have anything to do with it. from numpy.core.ma import * works fine with Apple's bundled Python and NumPy too.
