I've tried to use GTKAgg and it gives me an error message . I'm now running on the MacOSX backend and the graphic window appears on the remote screen (where pyton is running) rather than on the local one (in front of which I am sitting). Any idea on how to open the graphic window with a MacOSX or TkAgg backends on the local screen while python is running remote?
