Package: python-matplotlib Version: 0.98.3-4 Severity: normal Hi,
I installed the latest python-matplotlib package from unstable on a lenny system to workaround a bug that prevents me from using matplotlib on lenny at all. I had to learn that the new package version does not allow for interactive plotting. Please see this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ipython --pylab Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Sep 29 2008, 21:15:13) Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. IPython 0.8.4 -- An enhanced Interactive Python. ? -> Introduction and overview of IPython's features. %quickref -> Quick reference. help -> Python's own help system. object? -> Details about 'object'. ?object also works, ?? prints more. Welcome to pylab, a matplotlib-based Python environment. For more information, type 'help(pylab)'. In [1]: plot(range(5)) Out[1]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0x8f574cc>] In [2]: show() In [3]: isinteractive() Out[3]: True In [4]: savefig('test.png') In [5]: !display test.png In [6]: The show() call in [2] has no effect whatsoever, but calling savefig() does store the plot in a file.
