Two things to note: - ipython, even in the 0.10 series, uses threads for the Qt, Gtk and Wx backends, but *not* for Tk, because python automatically pumps the Tk event loop when the console blocks on reading (via the C API PyOSInputHook call). So there is exactly *zero* threading added by ipython in the specific case of a Tk backend. - in the 0.11 ipython series, we abandoned threading altogether (it's just too brittle) and moved to a model similar to the Tk one for *all* backends, we now use PyOSInputHook with all mpl backends. hth, f ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
