 During port install py27-matplotlib, the check_for_tk() function in
 setupext.py hangs on my system when invoked with python and tcl from
 MacPorts.

 This evokes the problem on my machine:
 port install py27-matplotlib
 (install hung at "Building" stage -- no CPU usage, no hard drive spinning)

 I diagnosed by:
 cd'ing to the work directory and running setup.py build. It gets as far as
 the libpng version and then hung. Looking at setup.py, tk is the next test
 run after libpng.
 I started a Python 2.7 interpreter and ran import setupext;
 setupext.check_for_tk(). The process hung.

 I can run easy_install matplotlib with system Python and it installs okay.
 The problem persists after running port selfupdate; port update outdated.
 I'm running OS X 10.6.8. I've attached a copy of the port install debug
 log.

 This probably deserves to be a Tk bug, but I don't know where to file that
 and this is how it's manifesting to me. Can you help advise where this
 belongs?

 Thanks!
