In case it matters, I am using the i386 installation and not the x86_64.
I have more info - which may be helpful.
Inspired by a related thread - which Goyo just answered, I tried the following
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> plt.plot([1.6, 2.7])
In an interactive python session (also in ipython), this produced the plot, and
it stayed up until I closed it.
I converted it to a little script
===
#!/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1.6, 2.7])
print plt.get_backend()
plt.show()
===
this prints to screen "TkAgg", but the plot disappears as soon as the script
finishes.
Thanks,
Andre
