I had the same problem. Either you need to use TkAgg backend, or use ipython. making it from source is easy. Get ipython-0.7.3.tar.gz from http://ipython.scipy.org/dist/ Expand it cd .../ipython-0.7.3 sudo python setup.py install This puts executables into /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/bin You need to make sure they are in your path either by adding /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/bin to your path, or making symbolic links to a directory in your path. e.g. I did cd /usr/local/bin/ sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/bin/ipython . sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/bin/irunner . sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/bin/pycolor . rehash HTH.
