I installed Chris Barker's compiled matplotlib and it works fine for producing a graphics file (THANK YOU CHRIS. NICELY DONE!). I've used it from interactive, MacPython, and BBEdit (TextWrangler will probably work, too, since it's related).

I would like to use matplot lib in the GUI and, most probably, Interactive mode. I've been looking over the documents and examples. From what I've read so far (and I don't pretend to understand it all) I have the following two "problems:"

1) I need to install Tkinter. Attempts to use TkAgg or other things warns me that _Tk or some such module cannot be imported or needs to be installed.
Is this right? Any tricks or difficulties I need to be aware of to do this?


2) I need to set the Interactive flag in .matplotlibrc to true to do interactive plotting. But I can't find .matplotlibrc in my home directory (yes, it should be a hidden file and I looked through the hidden files). Where is this one kept on the Mac? A Finder Find show nothing, but I know that doesn't search everywhere.

Is there anything else I'm missing to accomplish GUI and interactive use of Matplotlib?

I am running 10.3.8 on a 12" Al PB  1.25 GHz.
