Hi Mike,

Sorry for my very late response and thanks for informing us about this change. By the way, we met very briefly during the SciPy sprint days, when you helped me to solve an issue we had with matplotlib docstrings, so thanks for that too.

I can't speak for all our team but I agree with the proposed change. We haven't had complaints about it before but I think it's quite unintuitive to be able to plot inside IPython (or our own interactive console) but not outside it. So a change that eliminates this confusion seems the right thing to do.

Cheers,
Carlos

Greetings,

I'm the maintainer of the matplotlib package.

I'm considering changing the behavior of the rcParam |interactive| (which also can be set through |matplotlib.interactive()| and |pyplot.ion()| and |pyplot.ioff()|). Currently, when setting |interactive| to |True|, running any sort of matplotlib plot as a script will fail to display a window. This can be very surprising if a user turns on |interactive| because they prefer its behavior in IPython, but are then surprised that none of their scripts continue to work. I propose to fix this by turning on |interactive| only when running at an interactive console.

See the pull request http://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/2286 for an implementation.

I'm trying to rule out any negative impact of this change, and I would appreciate any feedback if this change will have a negative impact on your application.

Mike
