>>> fig.close()
Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: 'Figure' object has no attribute 'close'

I think you mean plt.close().  This seems to suspend IDLE, and activate the
plot and console windows.  To get back, I use "exit" in the console window.

Try using the draw() command instead of show().  Sometimes you need to issue
this command twice.

If I ever get this figured out, I'll write a HOWTO note.
