Hmm, I don't really see these issues, using a dev matplotlib, OS X 10.7.3, and
a python.org python 2.7. Interesting. (This is with the 'MacOSX' backend, mind.
Also note that on March 5 there was a patch to that backend to fix a few
issues, so if your matplotlib checkout is before that, perhaps that's the
problem?)
Anyhow, when I start python (or ipython), and then do "import matplotlib.pyplot
as plt", nothing happens, but then "plt.figure()", for example, causes a new
dock icon to appear -- a python rocket-ship thing -- that acts as an "app" that
owns the figure windows. I can use this app to switch to / raise the windows
from the dock or the cmd-tab switcher, and things work correctly via mission
control as well.
The keyboard shortcuts are a bit flaky ('s' never seems to work, but I can e.g.
toggle gridlines with 'g' or log-axes with 'l'), but the key-presses definitely
don't go to the terminal.
I wonder what the difference is? Perhaps the apple-supplied python is a bit
broken in this regard?
