Hi John, I am on a mac and have set the following:
SCIPY_PIL_IMAGE_VIEWER=/Applications/Preview.app/Contents/MacOS/Preview And when using imshow(), sure enough Preview attempts to open the fie, but it throws the following error: The file "tmp1zuvo7wn.png" couldn't be opened because you don't have permission to view it. I can open the temporary file manually no problem. And I have played around with chmod 0644 <filename>, but nothing seems to work. I have a feeling this is El Capitan specific. Do you have any suggestions? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
