I don't have a problem allowing/supporting it, but it may be tricky if we expect it to have the same blocking/non-blocking behavior across backends. Ie, for the script that does for i in range(10): plt.plot(np.random.rand(10), 'o') plt.show() many users expect that to be blocking on each call to show and the script to continue after closing each figure. My guess is that different backends on different platforms might show different behavior -- some may block, others not. I haven't looked at your changes yet, but what is your opinion on this issue?
