If you use Tcl/Tk and use a current version (instead of the ancient 
version that is built in) then use the packages at pythonmac. I just 
built 0.91.1 today and it should show up there soon. Meanwhile you can 
get it from here:
<http://www.astro.washington.edu/rowen/pythoninstallers/>

I hope that someday the official Mac egg version will work with 3rd 
party Tcl/Tk but no version I've tried has -- including 0.91.1.

That's what I do, but I'm not sure it's the best way. I delete all 
folders whose names start with "matplotlib" (usually a folder named 
"matplotlib" and another named matplotlib-xxx-py2.5.egg-info)
