It looks like EPD's version of matplotlib wasn't built with the _tkagg extension (it is an optional component). This e-mail thread [1] seems to suggest that it has gone in and out of EPD (though it's supposed to be back in 6.0). Of course, I don't usually run EPD or Windows myself, so I'm completely guessing, and am not trying to point fingers at the hard working guys at Enthought.
