Friends,
Oops! "WXAgg" and "TkAgg" rather than "WXApp" and "TkApp", of
course. I did say that I was just getting my bearings.
Yours,
David

Dear Mike and Jouni,
Since my post from yesterday, I have discovered that I was using the
WXApp backend and that using the TkApp backend fixed the problem.
Thanks for the help and sorry about the naive question. I am almost
completely new to Matplotlib and am only now getting my bearings.
That said, I have another question: Are there any important
implications to the spurious warnings coming from WXApp? I don't
know how functional WXApp is expected to be at this point nor even
if this problem really precludes using it. For all I know there
might be a simple work-around or there might really be no reason at
all to use WXApp rather than TkApp. Any light that you can shed
here would be much appreciated.
A couple of further observations:
* As I pointed out, pyplot.show appears to work fine in spite of
the warning message. The resulting plot window, however, shows a
number of peculiarities in behavior and seems to be missing
functionality that the corresponding TkApp window has. All this
suggests to me that the WXApp backend may not really be fully
functional yet. Any observations or comments?
* wxPython itself seems to work fine. At least, that is what I
see from running the demos.
Again, thanks for the help and any further comments, observations,
advice will be much appreciated.
Yours,
David

Which backend are you using? I suspect this is actually a bug in
the GUI framework being used, which we could rule out by running a
simple script to do something basic (like show a window) and see if
we get the same warning.

Dear Matplotlib Folks,
When I run pylab.plot, I get a weird warning:
** (python:20754): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to system bus
** (python:20754): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to system bus
<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0x1225850>
(Note that this was copied by hand because the system on which I run
Matplotlib is currently unable to connect to the global internet.)
The first line really is repeated.
The number after "python:" changes from one instance of the warning to
another.
I am running:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 3)
At least, that is what is in /etc/redhat-release.
The warning is not fatal and I can display what I attempted to plot with
pylab.show. However, the warning has a significant impact on the
interactive usability of Python and matplotlib as a replacement for Matlab.
Anyone have any suggestions or observations?
Yours,
David Sigeti
