Thanks, I made that change after an unfruitful attempt at installing gtk, which should have worked in my estimation. Now, at least I get by that original point.
NOW basemaps won't work any more! When I run, I get: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Documents and Settings\kpeters\smworkspace\parsesmExcelFile\src\readParse\ExcelClass.py", line 13, in <module> from matplotlib.toolkits.basemap import Basemap as Basemap ImportError: No module named toolkits.basemap I'm supposing that I NOW have to reinstall basemaps. The basemaps installer won't work for me any more though :-( This is that message I get when trying to reinstall basemaps: C:\Python25\Lib\basemap-0.99>c:\Python25\python.exe setup.py install checking for GEOS lib in /usr/local .... checking for GEOS lib in /sw .... checking for GEOS lib in /opt .... checking for GEOS lib in /opt/local .... checking for GEOS lib in C:\Documents and Settings\kpeters ....

Fortunately, it is relatively easy for you to fix:. Edit site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlib and change the 'backend : GTKAgg' line to backend : TkAgg Charlie -- we will need to roll out a new binary builds which fix this ASAP because this will bite all the win32 users who don't have a custom rc, which is most of them I suspect. We'll also need to check the settings in the 91.3 release. My apologies for not testing this as you requested (I did test on linux though). You probably will also want to check the default backend for the OS X eggs too.....
