[Pymc-user] use TkAgg?

[Hanno K. <kl...@ph...>]

Hi,

I have just started toying around with PyMC. However, I ran directly
in the beginning into a catch: I don't have Tkinter installed for
various reasons.

This throws up an error when importing PyMC, because it wants the
TkAgg backend of matplotlib to be used. However, after changing 

use('TkAgg') 

into 

use('GTK')

in Matplot.py 

and setting interactive=True in matplotlibrc, everything works well.
Is there a deeper reason for "hard-wiring" TkAgg usage into PyMC and
are there further problems down the road I have to anticipate with my
approach?

Thanks,
Hanno
