Clue: my first try with homebrew was in a virtualenv. Now I installed everything directly, without the virtualenv, and the first plot trial worked. Then I tried restarting ipthon and using "%matplotlib qt". Plotting was OK, but after closing the plot window and going away for a bit, upon coming back, the ipython terminal was extremely sluggish. App-nap problems? I was having similar response problems in some earlier trials as well, with ipython in anaconda. I thought all this was supposed to have been cleared up by now... I went back to anaconda, and verified I am still getting the unresponsive window--it can't even be resized.
