There is, finally, good news for Mac users who want to use matplotlib with python 3 but do not want to compile from the source code. There still is not a MAC mpl build for py3 on the matplotlib site, but Mac Ports now has py32-matplotlib which works with python v3.2.3. I just installed it the usual Mac Port way [‘sudo port install py32-matplotlib’] and tested it on a line plot I previously coded with mpl and py v2.7.3. The plot came out okay with py32-matplotlib. Be aware that, if you access the Tkinter module, its name is now tkinter [1st ‘t’ is now lowercase]. If you are unfamiliar with Mac Ports, check out http://astrofrog.github.com/macports-python/
