Maybe you don't have a python-3 compatible gui library installed, in which case your backend is defaulting to AGG, which cannot render a window for you. > I've tried changing the backend in the matplotlibrc file to TkAgg, but I > still get nothing, in fact now when I try to import matplotlib I get a > traceback error that name -tkagg is not defined, seems like it might be > something in the module. > > Can anyone lend a hand? Posting the exact traceback would help us help you. I'll hazard a guess that you don't have the tk development packages installed, so the tkagg backend could not be built when you installed matplotlib for py3, and therefore tkagg cannot be selected as your backend.
