Most likely, there was a change to your matplotlibrc file. There is a
setting in there for "interactive" and by default, it is set to False. If
you uncomment it and set it to True, you should get back the behavior you
expected. You can also explicitly set the interactive mode to True from
your scripts with a "plt.ion()" call before loading your other modules.
I hope that helps!
