I feel a 0.91.2 in the next few weeks, and I'll be sure to do this and
send you a test build.

version Charlie Moad builds cannot be used with TkAgg and a 3rd party
Tcl/Tk -- it not only won't use the library, but it also acts flaky.
Older versions crashed. 0.91.1 doesn't crash, but import of pylab
fails with a traceback.For some reason it seems to be necessary to have a 3rd party Tcl/Tk
installed when building matplotlib. It seems a shame. Tkinter in
Python 2.4 was the same way, but that got fixed in Python 2.5 (I
don't whether the installer got fixed or whether whoever builds Mac
Python 2.5 installed a 3rd party Tcl/Tk).>If there really do need to be two, then they should be labeled

However, Charlie Moad appears to be willing to start building a
version that works with 3rd party Tcl/Tk. I really hope that happens.-- Russell
