GUI packages like wx cannot be run from the standard python shell, as you are trying to do in using the ex backend of matplotlib, because of threading issues. See http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/interactive.html http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq.html#SHOW http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/doc/html/faq/installing_faq.html#id1 Short answer: when working interactively from the python shell, either use tkagg as your backend or ipython in pylab mode > ipython -pylab JDH ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
