I presume you have different versions installed on each OS. pyplot was

If TkAgg is set as your backend, then, yes, it will try to open a window
on the display. If you need to run on a remote headless server, for
instance, you can use the Agg backend. I see that you are doing that
(with the matplotlib.use('Agg')) line, so I'm surprised why any
Tcl-related message would be displayed at all.
Can you provide the information described here:
