functions like raw_input blok the mianloop of some gui backends (e.g., gtk) but work fine with some other backend (although Tk is the only backend I know of). So my guess is that you used a different backend with 0.98.1. I guess you have a few options.
* try different backend (Tk) with 0.98.3 * use ginput * or try a ginput-like routine that I made sometime ago which works okay with raw_input. http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=6e8d907b0803101609s7bd8fecaj851a6ecf1ab2a316%40mail.gmail.com IHTH, -JJ On Thu, Oct 2, 2008 at 5:18 PM, Zane Selvans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a Python module that I've written with some pylab plotting > routines in it.
