Ok, I think I see your point. Let me explain what I'm after, then. I'm doing some distributed computing and need to have a pylab process running remotely that accepts plotting commands. The issue is that the show() command takes over the main thread of execution, so I can't have my listening process running. Essentially I need to: 1) Pop up a figure() 2) Start the drawing loop 3) Start the socket listener 4) When the listener gets commands, execute them (plot, etc) Is this something that I can do?
