Finally I was able to compile mpl with tk following this link: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/sage-support/fV2VNL-5UuY%5B1-25%5D basically you can hack setupext.py by manually change the paths for tcl.h and tk.h if tcl.h and tk.h are missing, then you have to install them in a

The dmg you are referring to appears to install to /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages (The main library, not the one for in our user directory). Most likely, this directory is not in pythons search path. Therefore, python can't find any modules install
