IMEXAM from PyRAF fails
Status: Alpha
Brought to you by:

Verified with PyRAF 1.1 and PyImtool 1.0a4
0. Start up PyImtool
1. Start a PyRAF session
shell> pyraf
2. Display an image
--> display dev$pix 1
3. Run IMEXAM
--> imexam
At this point, drag the cursor inside PyImtool's
window, bring PyImtool to focus (if needed) and press
any key (e.g. 'j'). Nothin happens (a graphic window
should appear with a graph). The same steps, using
Ximtool or DS9 instead of PyImtool, work as expected.
More in detail,
--> pyraf.irafdisplay.readCursor()
returns the expected result when using PyImtool. The
problem must be in the interaction between the PyRAF
code that follows readCursor() and PyImtool...
