I'm saving the plots directly (plt.figure();plt.plot();plt.savefig();plt.close(fig)). I tried doing as you suggested [don't import Tk directly and change the backend to Agg] but it still crashes with the same TkAqua message. I don't explicitly import or use Tk anywhere in my code, so it seems that matplotlib is trying to load it anyway even when instructed to use a different backend. I'm running Enthought Python 7.3-2 on Mac OS X 10.6.8. Note that this problem seems to be restricted to this particular operating system; when I run the code on CentOS, also using EPD 7.3-2, it does not crash.
