I've just read that Python 3.3 has been released<http://python.org/download/releases/3.3.0/> and thought I would initiate a discussion oriented around adoption and possible benefits/problems. It appears that, at least for the Mac, there are issues with certain versions of ActiveTcl<http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/>. I have no experience with this, so I can't really comment further. -- Damon McDougall http://www.damon-is-a-geek.com B2.39 Mathematics Institute University of Warwick Coventry West Midlands CV4 7AL United Kingdom

The question is if the TkAgg still works with ActiveTcl on the Mac? Ben Root

I have never gotten the Tk backend to work. It always errors out with after popping up a window (with no plot in it) and fails very gracefully with a TclError, giving no indication of what Tcl didn't like. I think Phil is a Tk-er. -- Damon McDougall http://www.damon-is-a-geek.com B2.39 Mathematics Institute University of Warwick Coventry West Midlands CV4 7AL United Kingdom -- Damon McDougall http://www.damon-is-a-geek.com B2.39 Mathematics Institute University of Warwick Coventry West Midlands CV4 7AL United Kingdom
