Take a look at the pylab/pyplot switch_backends function
switch_backend(newbackend)
Switch the default backend to newbackend. This feature is
**experimental**, and is only expected to work switching to an
image backend. Eg, if you have a bunch of PostScript scripts that
you want to run from an interactive ipython session, you may want
to switch to the PS backend before running them to avoid having a
bunch of GUI windows popup. If you try to interactively switch
from one GUI backend to another, you will explode.
Calling this command will close all open windows.
Eg:
>>> switch_backends('Agg')
