That does sound reasonable - but how do you explain what followed?

Here's a simple script that triggers this behavior:

from matplotlib import pylab
pylab.plot([0,1])
pylab.show()

When I run that from ipython, it hangs and doesn't respond to attempts
to keyboard interrupt.

When I run it from the terminal it also hangs, running it with
--verbose-helpful, I get:

backend MacOSX version unknown

Is there another way to figure out which backend is being used?

Cheers,

Ariel
