Well, I'd be delighted to correct the ipython bug, if only I
understood exactly what the problem was... As far as I can see, that
code in ipython is simply calling
# Initialize matplotlib to interactive mode always
import matplotlib
from matplotlib import backends
inside a function (the _matplotlib_config method). I don't see a bug
in that, but if you provide some pointers, I'll be happy to fix any
issues that are on ipython's side of the fence.
