A quick update on Mac backends: 1) Two others in my office use macports, python 2.6, mpl 99.1, and snowleopard. They have none of the issues I have with the GUI stuff. Most notably, their MacOSX backends work properly in both X11 and native Mac terminal. 2) I cannot follow up on WxPython or Qt4

I am using the EPD and have have an issue with saving( I cant type in a name for the file) Are you using the 64bit? I don't think wx runs in 64 bit and so something else is used in the EPD 64 distro. Not really clear on this and has been awhile since I looked at it. On Tue, May 25, 2010 at 12:51

$%$^#!!! My sincere apologies, gmail sent before I was ready. To continue: GtkCairo: looks great, crashes ipython on resize. Wx: color issues, not stable. Qt: installs from fink, but won't load. In any case, it's not the Gtk/Qt/Wx problems that are important, it's the OSX backend issue.

Greetings. I did quite a bit of digging on this and cannot find similar problems, but if I did miss an earlier discussion, then I apologize. In any case, I have been having royal problems with GUI backends and matplotlib. Some background on where I've been having these problems: Machine 1: OSX

1)The problem does manifest in the same manner through the normal python prompt. OK that is good to know. 2) I'm not sure what is meant by a framework install.  Everything (except MPL 99.1.1) was installed through fink. This is important. Check where python is installed. If 'which
