Then the script is supposed to keep itself alive, after executing the
last statment, until the plot windows are closed? Does not work that
way for me (tkagg, qt4agg and gtk*) and I wouldn't expect that.
BTW this may be better than using raw_input:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.ion()
plt.plot([1.6, 2.7]) # The plot windows shows up.
# Do stuff, even user interaction, more plots, etc.
# ...
# Wait until all plot windows are closed.
plt.ioff()
plt.show()
