Re: [Matplotlib-users] Newbie question/closing a figure-window
Dear Richard, 2009/1/14 Richard Johns soylen...@tbaytel.net: The full edition of Python(x,y) 2.1.9 contains all of the software you mentioned(PIL, matplotlib, IPython, Enthought Tool Suite) while any of these missing from the basic and light editions can be added as plugins. Enthought Python includes a lot more pre-packaged Python libraries than Python(x,y) -- for example, the wxPython GUI library (unfortunately, in my surely biased opinion, the developers of Python(x,y) did not include wxPython in their distribution), and MPL Basemap toolkit. Another thing I like about Python(x,y) is that it is updated frequently so that you are always working with the most up-to-date software without having to compile it yourself. Well, none of these pre-packaged distribution is really up-to-date, as the development versions of the libraries (those available only via svn) will of course never be included.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Newbie question/closing a figure-window
Thanks to everybody who responded to my original post.
I think Massimo put it best: IDLE does not play well with matplotlib. I
will just have to learn how to be effective with ipython.

Gentlemen,
I would recommend, in turn, Enthought Python (http://www.enthought.com),
which also includes IPyhton, Matplotlib and many other useful libraries
(eg. PIL) not included in Python(x,y).
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

I have had similar experiences with IDLE on both XP and Ubuntu 8.04
and as a result I use IPython as much as possible. On XP I would
recommend that you install Python(x,y), 2.1.9,
http://www.pythonxy.com/foreword.php
which includes IPython(0.9.1) and IDLE(1.2.2) as well as many other
useful programs.
The example you gave runs under IPython with the command
run -i programname.py
and gives a plot which can be accessed independently of the IPython
shell. In other words you can execute commands in the shell while the
plot is still on the screen.
Hope this helps
Richard
p.s. I, like you, would still be interested in knowing why IDLE
crashes when a .py script is run twice.
