Then this could be it. In general, they should co-exist just fine, but
do know someone else has weird crashing problems when they were mixed
with MPL (and GDAL, in his case). Both numpy and Numeric, and numarray
have a lot of extension code that shares names, etc. who knows what
problem that can cause?

good plan, and it's getting close. The API should be stable now. The
sooner the better, I think. You'll be a lot more help with bugs or
potential bugs like this one.

Darn.

if you install the mpkg on pythonmac.org/packages, wx should work.
that's pretty easy.

Does it save a png successfully?

hmm. I just assumed it was there, but I can't find it either.

I meant that tongue-in-cheek -- we all have our reasons, and I know
you've been using TK for a good long time now.

which one would that be? AWT? Swing? SWT?, or for that matter, wxJAVA.

It's always worth a shot!
