Don't know, never used wxmpl as it did not exist when I started using 
matplotlib.

I would guess it is WXAgg

That is the Unicode issue, i.e. matplotlib is built against wxPython 2.6 
Unicode (hopefully the next release will remove this dependency), the 
easiest work around is Andrea's solution to rename the file 
"/backends/_wxagg.pyd"  before you run py2exe.
