So far, the workarounds have been using a different backend (Qt4Agg instead 
of TkAgg) or using a different Python distro (homebrew).

I'm guessing that some library was recently updated in Anaconda, and 
unfortunately conflicts with the Tk library that comes with MacOS X.   
Probably there is some library-path environment variable that could fix the 
problem.   Or maybe we could manually dlopen the desired library to work 
around the problem?
