I have a Python program which calls matplotlib's show() method to display a
plot, but control does not return to my program until I close the displayed
figure. I want control to immediately return to my program so that I can
display additional figures as well.

The doco (matplotlib 1.1.1) for the show() method mentions an experimental
key word arg named 'block', that can be set to True or False. This looks
promising, but plt.show(block = False) raises type error "got an unexpected
keyword argument 'block'". A call to plt.show() works fine. The method
appears to accept no arguments.

Can anyone suggest how to bypass the blocking behaviour of the show()
method?

TIA,
  Jon
