[Matplotlib-users] pylab.close() gtk error

[Emmanuel P. <pec...@ob...>]

Hello,

If I run the following script on my system (SuSE 10.0, matplotlib-0.87 but=
=20
same behaviour with 0.86):

#!/usr/bin/python

import matplotlib
import pylab

pylab.figure()
pylab.close()

It crashes with the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./tmp.py", line 8, in ?
    pylab.close()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/pylab.py", line 768, in=
=20
close
    else: _pylab_helpers.Gcf.destroy(figManager.num)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/_pylab_helpers.py", lin=
e=20
28, in destroy
    figManager.destroy()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_gtk.py=
",=20
line 456, in destroy
    gtk.main_quit()
RuntimeError: called outside of a mainloop

Does someone has an idea of the problem?
I didn't have this kind of problem with my SuSE 9.3 and matplotlib-0.85
