When I try and run the example code on matplotlib's website for embedding matplotlib in tk, the GUI never appears and the kernel crashes. I'm using Python 3.5.1, matplotlib 1.5.1, and tk 8.5.18 vc14. Everything was installed using Anaconda.

I'm pretty sure this is supposed to work, as I've seen other tutorials run it using Python 3. Interestingly, when I create a Python 2.7 environment, I'm able to run the code successfully. I've tried this on several machines (all Windows 7) and I get similar results.
