It's getting harder to build 32 / 64 bit universal > binaries these days... What I need is a python, numpy, and matplotlib that support 32-bit and (preferably) 64-bit for MacOS X 10.6 and later. I have been using python.org python and the standard binary installers until now. Until Mavericks I was using 64-bit mode. Unfortunately 32-bit is required for older versions of Tcl/Tk to run under Mavericks and as I noted, I can't use recent versions due to due to a bug (example appended) that I've not found a workaround for. I realize I'm in an unusual situation, and I"m not the one building the binaries and trying to deal with the ATLAS headaches. If worst comes to worst we can stay at the current version of numpy and matplotlib (at least for now). Long term we should probably switch away from Tcl/TK, though that would be a huge undertaking, or hire somebody to fix the Tcl/Tk bug. -- Russell # tcl menu crash; run in wish and push the Change Font button menu .parentMenu menu .parentMenu.apple -tearoff 0 # the following line is optional, but shows the menu is created .parentMenu add cascade -label Wish -menu .parentMenu.apple font create testFont option add "*Button.font" testFont button .btn -text "Change Font" -command { font configure testFont -size 20 } pack .btn . configure -menu .parentMenu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
