error in TkAgg

Hi,
When I tried to save a plot from the TkAgg GUI, it gave me an error message, here’s the whole sesssion

from pylab import *
x = arange(1, 10, 1)
y = sin(x)
plot(x, y)
[<matplotlib.lines.Line2D instance at 0x017A6DC8>]
show()

then after I click save on the GUI, I get this error message

Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “C:\Python24\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py”, line 1345, in call
return self.func(*args)

469, in print_figure
self.renderer._renderer.write_png(str(filename))
UnicodeEncodeError: ‘ascii’ codec can’t encode characters in position 36-37: ord

Any ideas how to fix that?

thanks in advance,
