Hi Tony, have you solved this issue? What was the problem?
I just installed the ScipySuperpack http://macinscience.org/?page_id=6 on a clean OSX 10.6 machine running http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/plot_directive/mpl_examples/pylab_examples/date_demo_rrule.py for example from the command line works awesome, but not from TextMate. This sounds like the same problem you had.. I'd appreciate any pointers!

Running the script with python -vv doesn't help: All the debug > code it prints stops before plt.show is called.
