pyplot and tkFileDialog problem #244

Original report at SourceForge, opened Tue Nov 18 08:19:56 2008

Hi,

I am struggling having tkFileDialog and pyplot modules working together.

Here is a sample code that reproduce the problem:

import tkFileDialog as FD
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
FD.askopenfile()

And no files are displayed in the dialog box but the mouse icon indicates it is busy. If I do not import pyplot, no problem at all :-(
I am working on Ubuntu 8.04, python 2.5, matplotlib 0.91.2

Any ideas?
