Bill,

Thanks for your reply. pylab(ion) is not what I meant. Consider this simply
script -
.....
# simple.py
from pylab import *
plot([1,2,3])
show()
....

Now, if I do python simple.py on a cmd prompt, this will open up a plot
window, but the script won't return until the plot window is closed.
I would like simple.py process to end but the plot window to be still up. I
have users who would like to type one command after
another and not have to close any of the plot windows created.

I looked at ezplot, but it looks like a rather heavy weight soln, but maybe
I need to do something similar. Is there any other way around this?

Thanks,
ss

I'm not sure what you're after exactly, but your design needs may be
solved by calling pylab.ion(True).
If not the ezplot library that I wrote may do it for you.
