There are quite a few Python 2.6 string format syntax errors in 1.4.3. I found them using https://github.com/xZise/flake8-string-format (and git grep {} due to xZise/flake8-string-format#10).
Some have already been fixed by @montefra in 1.5.x:
I've submitted two PRs to fix other related issues:
matplotlib 1.4.x supposedly supports Python 2.6, but the 1.4.3 release indicates that it is the last patch release, and there is no 1.4.x branch that I can submit PRs to.
Ironically, this means that 1.5.x supports Python 2.6 better than the 1.4.x series.
I've packaged five commits ready to be merged into 1.4.x, if desired.
