I have no idea whether this is related with the GIL. Anyhow, you may work around this by running the blocking function in a separate thread, although I only tested this with Gtk backends. Here is a related post. http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=6e8d907b0803101609s7bd8fecaj8

2009-03-09 Thread Jonathan Taylor
Yes I already use this, but I think the problem is that the other toolkits need the GIL to update but raw_input() also grabs the GIL so you cannot examine your plot in a pause (i.e. raw_input()). I think that TK is able to avoid this problem as a side effect of being in a "C thread" instead of a p
