But if that were the case, you would think that matplotlib would have spelled the name correctly. Is it possible that you have some sort of mixed Python environment, where you have a Python 2.7 version of one module that has been installed into Python 3 (or vice versa)?

Well, these days there are many software using python and thus silently installing it. But I use Winpython (natively MKL) 2.7 which I registered explicitly. And indeed matplolib calls tkinter, we tried to use Qt instead but without success yet. The bug is still a mystery since tkinter works well from winpython.

The argument is difficult to understand, I don't believe that any flavor of Python does indeed promise any warranty or support of any kind. Then why did you provide a bridge to an unreliable software ?

On the other side our experiences with corporate software is much worse. One reason we switched from Pv-Wave to IDL was that they were sitting on a 10 years old known FFT error without taking any steps to correct it !

For the reliability to become a valuable service, you need to communicate heavily on the methods you use to guarantee it.
