What's more likely <font color="#ff0000">TO</font> run python/Tkinter
with graphics than IDLE? <br>
<br>
I'm looking at py2exe right now, but that seems useful for a completed
program. On that topic, I noticed that my Start->All Progs menu item
now, possibly it was there before I installed p2exe, a Python2.4 item
show a Command Line sub-item. <br>
<br>
I've finally figured out to use the Start->Run to get at the python
program. <br>
I just tried a slight variation on:<br>
<pre wrap="">C:\Python24\python \path\to\myprogram.py gets nowhere. Nix this STATEMENT.
I copied the program int c:\pytho24. I don't seem to be able to copy the window, so I see pretty much what I had before, except it adds:
Fatal Pyton error: Pystring_InterInPlace: strings only please! The rest is about the run time error.

and it died the same way. Same if I put it before plot. Same before arrange.
Dies same way with only the import line. There must be something wrong with
the matplot module install?

When Alan says to run the program from a terminal window, he means,
- open terminal
- type the command to run your program - something like

This is different from just double-clicking the program, the terminal
window will stay open.
You could also open a terminal window and just run Python, then type
or paste the pylab commands into the interpreter. I.e., run terminal,
then type

etc.
IIUC it is a bad idea to run a Tkinter program from IDLE, it can get a
bit confused. That may be the reason for your original error.
