Hi Tommy,
Look inside the pyplot.py module. I don't have the code in front of me now, but I guess it's a module that loads a bunch of other modules, and one of those wants to use X11. This should not depend on whether the developersā tools are present. -michiel ------------------------------ On Sat, Jul 20, 2013 9:16 AM EDT Tommy Grav wrote: > >On Jul 20, 2013, at 9:09 AM, Michiel de Hoon <mjldeh...@yahoo.com> wrote: > >> >> The MacOSX backend itself does not use X11.
