The key here is that GUI toolkits run a Mainloop() to process user input, and once you've started that, they block python until it's done. What Ipython does is (optionally) start up the GUI toolkit in another thread, so that the main interactive prompt is not blocked. It's handy for mixing an interactive prompt and GUI stuff, even if you aren't using MPL. Plus you get all the other nifty iPython features. Give it try -- it's wonderful. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
