My version (same OS / xcode) is working; I will try to look at the list of installed dependencies to see if there is anything suspicious (and to see if I can recreate the crash) when I have a chance.

In the interim, could you try installing py27-matplotlib +qt4 (and potentially -tkinter) to see if that fixes things?

[joe.oboyle@…]

Thanks eborisch. I attempted your suggestion and continued to receive the error message both with py27-matplotlib +qt4 and with py27-matplotlib +qt4 -tkinter. Here are the steps I attempted:

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install py27-matplotlib +qt4
spyder

followed by

sudo port -f uninstall py27-matplotlib @1.3.0_0+qt4
sudo port clean py27-matplotlib
sudo port install py27-matplotlib +qt4 -tkinter
spyder

Is the error message the same? It shouldn't be entering _tkinter.so.
