Apparently the binaries are fine but the default matplotlib rc is setting the backend to wxagg. site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data and set backend : TkAgg See also http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/customizing.html Christoph, would you be able to rebuild the installers using TkAgg as the default backend? Basically, at build time, you need to copy setup.cfg.template to setup.cfg and set the line backend = TkAgg There are additional details at http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/devel/release_guide.html#packaging and http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/installing_faq.html#backends Thanks!
