The problem is when to call pyplot.close(fig). The actual visible figure on the canvas is often resized along with window it is in, in addition to being interacted with in other ways. In these cases you can't just close the figure after drawing it - if you do, the resizing results in a blank canvas and a PyDeadObjectError. The easiest workaround to the problem is simply making the whole window modal, and closing the figure if the window is closed for any reason - or before you create a new figure. This is less than ideal, but lets the life go on in this case.
