Description of problem: When plotting a figure with matplotlib it takes control of the main program shell (ipython) and doesn't return it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Name : python-matplotlib Arch : i686 Version : 1.0.0 Release : 2.fc14 Size : 22 M Repo : installed Name : ipython Arch : noarch Version : 0.10.1 Release : 1.fc14 Size : 4.1 M Repo : installed How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run ipython -pylab 2. type plot() 3. type show() Actual results: The figure is shown (as a blank plot), however the input terminal of ipython stays busy. If I close the figure the control is still stuck. Pressing ctrl+c gives: KeyboardInterrupt Traceback (most recent call last) /home/cassio/<ipython console> in <module>() /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_gtk.pyc in show(mainloop) 76 if mainloop and gtk.main_level() == 0 and \ 77 len(Gcf.get_all_fig_managers())>0: ---> 78 gtk.main() 79 80 def new_figure_manager(num, *args, **kwargs): KeyboardInterrupt: Expected results: The control should be returned to the main ipython program once the figure has been displayed. Additional info: I'm guessing this is a problem with the GtkAgg backend. Installing matplotlib-python-tk and creating the ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc file with backend:TkAgg property works around this issue.
This seems to be fixed in the ipython git repo. But unfortunately, I don't know how to properly backport the "fix", because ipython changed almost everywhere compared to 0.10.1. So it would be better to use the workaround for now and wait for 0.11... Sorry.
