This was always an unsupported use of show. The FAQ entry http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq.html#SHOW states in bold: IMPORTANT: show should called at most once per script and it should be the last line of your script. At that point, the GUI takes control of the interpreter. If you want to force a figure draw, use draw instead. That is worked in some cases can be considered an accident of the backend and possibly GUI version. That said, I would like to support this use case, essentially a pause until some user input is given. Lots of people want it and it is a useful thing. This came up again back in October. Nadia at STScI worked on this and I think she thought she had a solution for blocking calls in a threaded environment. Maybe she can provide some input here.
