Tkinter moviepy issue

Question

On Mac OS 10.11 in python I get an abort trap when doing:

from moviepy.editor import *
from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()

The abort trap looks like:

libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException
Abort trap: 6

moviepy is the latest version (0.2.2.11), Tkinter is the recommended build from the Tcl/Tk website. I also notice that when I import moviepy.editor a Tkinter symbol pops up in the dock as if a Tk() object is being instantiated by moviepy? Very strange, very frustrating.

maybe you shouldn't import using `*` - this way you override functions from `moviepy.editor` by functions from `tkinter` — furas, Jan 27 '16 at 21:29
doesn't do the trick, any import involving moviepy.editor causes the abort trap when making a Tkinter window — Dylan Ray, Jan 27 '16 at 22:47

Fixed. Turns out this is a weird issue with matplotlib. Doing:

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('TkAgg')

does the trick. There are some other questions, on this website, where this abort trap has appeared, and perhaps this all that need be done.
