The key error message is `/opt/local/lib/tk8.5/tk.tcl: version conflict for package ""Tk"": have 8.5.7, need exactly 8.5.11 version conflict for package ""Tk"": have 8.5.7, need exactly 8.5.11`. This used to work perfectly on this machine with Tcl 8.5.9 & earlier but has apparently been broken during recent version upgrades? Running wish appears to work fine (starts up with no error message), but starting ipython and trying to access any Tk widgets fails this way: {{{ mperrin@prometheus ~ > \ipython --pylab Python 2.7.2 (default, Nov 6 2011, 11:02:11) Type ""copyright"", ""credits"" or ""license"" for more information.
