Angus is right w/ resepct to mpl -- we don't have any support for blocking calls. This is a very frequent request and you are certainly right Eric to *expect* something like this to work, but in the context of multiple GUIs w/ threads it is not too easy. One could probably make tkagg work with only minor modifications to mpl, but the other GUIs would be harder becasue they are threaded. So using event handling and callbacks are the way to solve this problem, as Angus suggests in his solution, but they are harder for people to get their head around than blocking calls, so hopefully we will get support for this idiom before the end of time.
