Well, well. One can get interesting results by persistence. The code I speak of here now works without using ipython. All it took was moving the offending def (show() at the end) and putting it somewhere else where the completion of the def bounced right back into the main flow of the program. The desired result was that statistics print outs to the shell now do not block the advancement of the video to the next event. All this from the single clue I offered several times. Another plot in the program that works properly. Maybe that plot and my plot break some fundamental Python law, but they both work.
So far so good. Done. Now to add the individual markers to the path at key points, as per finally concluding that wild goose chase with Jae-Joon Lee a short while ago.
