Hi, >> As a test, try to set your backend to either 'cocoaagg' or 'macosx' like so:
import matplotlib as mpl mpl.use('cocoaagg') There have been issues with TkAgg on macs. I have personally not had any success with it (even with ActiveState's Tcl). >> >> > tried doing the above but this required me to install something called > PyObjC: >>> The CococaAgg backend required PyObjC to be installed! > (currently testing v1.3.7) > > when I tried to easy_install PyObjC it gave me the following error: > > Unknown distribution option: 'use_2to3' > warnings.warn(msg) > error: Could not find required distribution pyobjc-core >> I am sorry for this but I easy_install-ed pyobjc-core, and then easy_install-ed PyObjC. Now the pyplot.show() command works. My matplotlib is now up and working!
