I can't test this under windows XP right now (I can tomorrow). But
how are you running your script (double clicknig, from a shell, from
within an IDE?
What does
c:> python anim_tk.py --verbose-helpful report?
I searched the matplotlib-users archives at
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=33405 for
PyEval_RestoreThread. This has cropped up a few times before on
windows (including a September post from you also on anim_tk which did
not appear to be resolved).
My usual first guess when people get this message is that they are
trying to run matplotlib from within a GUI IDE and are getting an IDE
conflict, which is why I asked you to test from the command shell.
Let me know the results of the tests above, because I'd like to track
this one down.

John,
No IDE or double clicks. Straight from the command line.
