Is this an unaltered ipython, along with a matplotlib configured to use Qt4 as its backend? You mentioned having modified ipython yourself, which is most definitely NOT needed. I recently used this same ipython with the qt4 backend for several days without any problem, so your report is rather mysterious... So, make sure that: 1. You have a fully unmodified ipython. 2. Your matplotlibrc file has the proper backend setting: backend : Qt4Agg We should be able to track this down, since we know it works fine for others (myself and Darren included). cheers, f ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
