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).

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!

Thank you, (esp ben.root)
