Use case is I have a module that does digital design. If run as main, it has a little test that does a plot. The plot is supposed to use a gui and display.
But if not run as main, there is no plot, and maybe no display. I had: if __name__ == "__main__": from matplotlib.pyplot import * but this gives a warning about import * not at module level, so I changed to from matplotlib.pyplot import * if __name__ == "__main__": Then if imported from another module, this crashes my program when run non- interactively. I didn't expect merely importing matplotlib to try to open the display. I'm not changing backends in my rc file, because there are plenty of times when I want matplotlib to use my favorite gui. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
