Sometime ago I mentioned that for the correct working of the new plotting module (actually only for the matplotlib backend) one must do some magic with the event loops. It seems that this magic was so hard that the matplotlib documentation simply states that if you want interactive non-blocking plotting you _must_ use ipython as the ipython team has taken care of all this. So, now the implementation of the new plotting module requires a small one line change to the sympy profile in ipython.
I will leave the discussion surrounding all the event loop magic and plotting for another time and focus on the problem of updating the sympy profile in ipython. The fact is that one needs to add different new configuration options to this profile as sympy evolves and it is suboptimal to require an upstream change in ipython for every such change. To remedy this problem Aaron proposed some time ago to dump all such configurations in the interactive module in sympy and just make the ipython's sympy profile call them. Could we proceed with this idea? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
