matplotlib crashing Python

Question

I\'m new to Python and matplotlib. A simple script I wrote is crashing and I was able to reproduce the crash with the following code:

import matplotlib.pyplo         


        

Answer 1

I had a similar issue in OSX when I updated to Python 3.4. IDLE was also crashing and there was a warning telling me the version was unstable.

I solved it by following the prompts and updating the version of Tcl/Tk (8.5.9) - http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk .
