[Matplotlib-users] Controlling the wxpython matplotlib-frame

[Wolfgang K. <wke...@go...>]

Hello all,
I have trouble with one of my scripts that uses matplotlib when using  
python or ipython. The first time it opens, it does not hand the  
control back o the shell and can be used to work on the matplotlib  
figure interactively (I use an event handler and picker objects to  
change my plots) so it works really well. After I close the window the  
control is given back to the shell. This is how I want it to work,  
however at the second time the matplotlib plot opens the shell does  
not stop anymore, the script continues. When I used GTKAgg on my old  
linux box I had the same issue and bound a key to  
pylab.get_current_figure_manager().destroy(), which looked like a hack  
to me but  worked. This does not work anymore with wxPython, because  
the next time I open a plot I get an exception:

PyDeadObjectError: The C++ part of the FigureFrameWxAgg object has  
been deleted, attribute access no longer allowed.

I also think destroying the figure_manager is not the right way to do  
that. Whats a goog solution for this?
Thanks in advance
     Wolfgang

P.S.: I know I posted a similar thing yesterday, but I thought  
rephrasing the question might help with finding the solution
