I told you those guys were brainy :-)

    Fernando> ps. John, I think we almost have this nailed :)

Don't tempt the fates -- I got an X11 freeze.  But I think I fixed it.

    def pre_interact(self):
        """Initialize matplotlib before user interaction begins"""

--->    import matplotlib.matlab

I don't think you want this, especially not here.  Remember that all
the matplotlib.use and matplotlib.interactive calls should be made
*before* importing matplotlib.matlab (which is when the actual backend
is imported)

        push = self.shell.push
        # Code to execute in user's namespace
        lines = ["import matplotlib",
--->             "matplotlib.use('GTKAgg')",
                 "matplotlib.interactive(1)",
                 "import matplotlib.matlab as matlab",
                 "from matplotlib.matlab import *"]
   
You might make the additional caveat in the docs about honoring rc
settings that the default backend is overridden.

        map(push,lines)

        # turn off rendering until end of script
--->     matplotlib.matlab.interactive = 0

I'm pretty sure you mean matplotlib.interactive(0) -- ie, it's a
function, not a variable, and it isn't in the matlab interface module.
And don't you want to turn off interaction only if they load a file,
and then turn it back on?  Ie,

        # Execute file if given.
        if len(sys.argv)>1:
--->        import matplotlib
--->        matplotlib.interactive(0) # turn off interaction
            fname = sys.argv[1]
            try:
                inFile = file(fname, 'r')
            except IOError:
                print '*** ERROR *** Could not read file <%s>' % fname
            else:
                print '*** Executing file <%s>:' % fname
                for line in inFile:
                    if line.lstrip().find('show()')==0: continue
                    print '>>', line,
                    push(line)
                inFile.close()
--->        matplotlib.interactive(1)   # turn on interaction


But with these changes, it works great!  Here is my modified version

#!/usr/bin/env python
"""Multithreaded interactive interpreter with GTK and Matplotlib support.

Usage:

  pyint-gtk.py -> starts shell with gtk thread running separately

  pyint-gtk.py -mplot [filename] -> initializes matplotlib, optionally running
  the named file.  The shell starts after the file is executed.

Threading code inspired by:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by Brian
McErlean and John Finlay.

Matplotlib support taken from interactive.py in the matplotlib distribution.

Also borrows liberally from code.py in the Python standard library."""
