Yes I wrote about problem with show() , too

is matplotlib seriouse project????!!!!

Sandy

Hi,
I am a real newbie at matplotlib, so I apologize if this is an obvious
question.
I am running ipython in emacs and while the first time I use the show()
command in the ipython buffer the graph shows up fine, subsequent times that
I call the command it, the graph does not show up. I am on ubuntu 10.04
(64) and I built the matplotlib library from source.
I am trying to get the graphs to show up the subsequent times as well (sorry
for the pun).
Thanks for any help.

> This is important. Check where python is installed. If 'which python' shows /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/python or something similar, you have a framework version. If on the other hand it shows /usr/bin/python, /usr/local/bin/python, or something similar, you don't have a framework version. I don't know what fink installs by default. If you don't have Python installed as a framework, some backends (including the MacOSX backend) will not interact properly with the window manager. This is a Mac peculiarity. If you build Python from source, you can specify to install a framework version by passing the --enable-framework option to the configure script.
