Re: [Matplotlib-users] matplotlib OS X egg

[Charlie M. <cw...@gm...>]

     Wxpython comes preinstalled on 10.4 as does Tkinter.  I am pretty
sure that the eggs that Chris has posted in addition to mine link
against those.   You would probably need a custom build for
darwinports to play nice.  I can't test any of this, so I may not be
much more help.  Also, I have never tried gtkagg on osx since there is
no native gtk2 toolkit.  I am sure it would work fine with
fink/darwinports gtk2 though under X11.app.
