This may be true that idle doesn't play well with mpl, but I don't know why it should be (it used to work ok). It is definitely in your interest to learn ipython (it's easy) but if you want to try idle, make sure you read http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/shell.html Also, when this came up in the past, people suggested to run idle with -n and set the os.environ['PYTHONINSPECT'] = '1' evnironment variable, eg http://mail.python.org/pipermail/edu-sig/2005-January/004362.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
