PyPlot crashes upon closing

Dear Jakob and Ben,

I am seeing the same error. This is with a clean install of Python 2.7,
numpy 1.6.1, and matplotlib 1.0.1 (all 32-bit versions running under a Win 7
64-bit OS). In fact, all I am doing to test this is to execute the
'embedding_in_tk.py' example that is on the examples web page, with the
button calls at the end of the script uncommented. Any attempt to use that
'Quit' button causes the NULL tstate error.

Any info on this would be appreciated. I'm not saying I'm an expert, but
given that this isn't working "out of the box," it appears to be a bug.

Hi,

I've been having the same problem and it has been driving me crazy that I
couldn't find a solution for the situation when you want to close the main
window using the X Button at the top right corner. Finally I managed to get it
working by using:

def _quit():
    gui.quit()
    gui.destroy()

if __name__=='__main__':
  root=Tk()
  root.protocol('WM_DELETE_WINDOW',_quit)
        root.mainloop()
