Re: [Matplotlib-users] Newbie / plot([1,2,3]) issues / Csound

[Tim M. <tim...@d2...>]

Thanks Darren,

Here's a copy of what IDLE is printing to the screen (i'm using idle because
I'm lazy & don't like typing filepaths in full ; ) - a lot of my python
stuff is about avoiding doing exactly this for csound repeatedly...  )

There's nothing specific re the Tk window crash that i can see 

Many other .py matplotlib examples I have tried work - just (so far) not the 
>>> plot([1,2,3]) 
command, nor Anim.py that i have taken from the distributed examples zip. 

In the case of Anim.py, the window launches & displays the animation
sucessfully - however any attempt at window interaction results in hang &
crash.

My hunch is the problem is Tk(?), not Matplotlib.

I have to admit, the font choice seems like an unusual / unexpected one (see
below)

Anyway, thanks for taking a look, & please advice if anything you see below
is illuminating on any issue at all.
