This is really a question for the matplotlib list, but here's a short
explanation:
Matplotlib can use a number of "back-ends". These are the parts that do
the actual rendering. The some of the options are:
TkInter, pyGTK, wxPython, Agg, pyQT, PDF, PS, etc.

TkInter is probably installed by default.

The default back end is set in your .matplotlibrc file. Alternately, you
can set it at runtime like so:
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('TkAgg')
then you can do
import pylab
etc, and tk will be used.

What you want is to embed MPL in a Tk app. To see how to do this, take a
look at the examples:
user_interfaces/embedding_in_tk*
The examples can be downloaded as a zip file from the main MPL web site:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/
