Wriing a GUI neutal idle event handler is not easy -- I've spent some time on it but crashed and burned on tk -- but my guess is that the problem you are having in your code is that GTK expects you to return True is you want the func to be called again. As soon as you return False the event handler is terminated. You return nothing, which is None, which is False. A simple "return True" may cure what ails you vis-a-vis gtk. But pylab animation is not supported, so I suggest that you code to your GUI of choice for animation until we get a proper GUI neutral animation event API.
