I primarily follow the dev list, but you've caught my eye. ;) So to be clear, you would just like me to install some other tcl/tk before I do the "official" matplotlib osx binaries. What package should I be installing and where should I get it from. As long as it still works with the bundled tck/tk I would have no problems doing this.
