I am trying to save an eps file using savefig method of matplotlib, but I am getting an unusual exception (KeyError), and the message isn't actionable. Let me know what can be done thanks.

I am generating some png figures with python 2.7.3 and Agg backend and using the options:
matplotlib.rc('font', family = 'serif', serif = 'cm10', size = 19)
matplotlib.rc('text', usetex = True)
matplotlib.rcParams['text.latex.preamble'] = [r'\boldmath']
matplotlib.rcParams['font.weight'] = 'bold'
matplotlib.rcParams['axes.linewidth'] = 2
for the labels and titles in the figures. the code works fine when I run it on my cluster on a login node. When I submit it to a computing node I get

How can I use latex for typesetting the figures on the computing node?

I'm writing a lab report for uni and have decided to use pyplot to draw a graph for it. The units for one of my axes is V^(-1), but I can't seem to get matplotlib to write that with the power in superscript (it only superscripts the minus sign) when using the code:
plt.xlabel('$1/U (10^5 V ^-1 )$')
I'd also like to match the fonts used for the axes titles with that used for the values on the axes if at all possible. I've tried putting:
plt.rc('text', usetex=True)
plt.rc('font', family='serif')
at the beginning of my code, but that gives me the error:

ValueError: ordinal must be >= 1
The ordinal error is resolved by implementing:
ax.set_ylim(bottom = 733681, top = 733682)
then the #'d out lines work fine.
Just wanted to see if others thought that the following behaviour in matplotlib plot_date was buggy, or if it's just something I should put up with.
I have a multi-panel plot that I set up with sharex to facilitate zoom/pan on all axes, and I plot time series data in both panels. However, in the second panel, all of the data happens to be invalid (in this example I mask it).
from matplotlib.pyplot import figure,show
from datetime import datetime,timedelta
from numpy import sin,cos,linspace,pi,ma,array
fig=figure(figsize=(16,9))
ax1=fig.add_subplot(211)
ax2=fig.add_subplot(212,sharex=ax1)
# xdata is seconds
xdata=linspace(0,9999,10000)
tdata=array([datetime(2000,1,1)+timedelta(seconds=ss) for ss in xdata])
data1=ma.masked_array(sin(pi*xdata/300),mask=False)
data2=ma.masked_array(cos(pi*xdata/300),mask=True)
ax1.plot_date(tdata,data1,marker='',color='r')
ax2.plot_date(tdata,data2,marker='',color='b')
show()
I'd expect (prefer) it to just show up a blank panel, not to fail and give me a long unhelpful traceback. Is this the expected behaviour?
Notes:
This script also fails if I use ax.plot(...) instead of ax.plot_date(...)
It works fine (i.e. gives me an empty panel) if I just plot against xdata, not the datetime array tsdata (but I have to use ax1.set_xlim(xdata[0],xdata[-1]) to get a sensible domain displayed):
ax1.plot(xdata,data1,marker='',color='r')
ax2.plot(xdata,data2,marker='',color='b')
ax1.set_xlim(xdata[0],xdata[-1])
show()
I have just realised I can rescue the above plot by forcing the ax2 limits right before the show() command. I still think that the failure in the main example is inelegant:
ax2.set_xlim(tdata[0],tdata[-1])
show()
What do the experts think?
Thanks!
F.Y.I., This was on matplotlib 1.1.0, compiled from source on my PC.
Here is the traceback that I get:

Yes, I would call this a bug, or at least an oversight which looks like it has been fixed (via #ali_m https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/162).
I was getting this exception, but that was on a version of 1.3.x from June (my bad, thought I had a more current version on this computer). Current master does not have this problem and #ali_m reports that it also works on 1.2.1 and 1.3.0 so I suspect the fix is to upgrade you version of matplotlib.
What looks like is going on is that there isn't a check in the code that sorts out where to put the ticks has no check to make sure you have given in non-empty data.
The reason that setting the limits explicitly prevents the error is that the code never tries to figure out what the range of your empty data is.
Please create a github issue for this (and include the trace back in the issue).
