So I'm using the dmg install on Mavericks and I finally figured out where 
in the app package to put the PyNGL site-package. The problem is I get 
complaints about not being able to open an X11 window for any call to 
plot() that gets handled by NGL:

 plot(c1)
  File "ClimateGraphics.py", line 138, in plot
    w = Ngl.open_wks('x11','Climate Workbook')
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'open_wks'

The reason I need this is for the ClimateUtilities and ClimateGraphics 
packages that go with Ray PierreHumbert's "Principles of Planetary 
Climate". I could use MatPlotLib but for assorted reasons I'd prefer to use 
NGL (for one thing most of the examples were written to use NGL and do not 
display all that well with MatPlotLib ... missing axis labels etc.)

I'm trying to create an environment that can be used by high school 
students studying climate. Obviously we are doing some programming but my 
goal here is not to turn them into a bunch *nix hackers (... I have a 
completely separate course for that ...)

Any thoughts out there?

I do have XQuartz installed.

Thanks,

Paul Fisher
