I installed SAGE from a binary dowload on my Mac Book Pro (OS X 10.4, Intel 32 bit chip). In testing it out I have several problems with pylab which I use a lot and which I thought was part of the SAGE package. 1) Pylab can't find the _tkagg module. Error msg: ImportError: No module named _tkag

Thanks for the advice ! I downloaded the 10.5 version of sage 4.3 and tested again with the same examples as in the earlier post. Essentially the first and last example now worked, no crash and the plot appeared. But for Example 2 and 3 the result was the same : no crash but also no plot. For compl
