running the last ipython version now (0.9.1), and it does not help (got stuck the same way).
The difference now is that ipython provides a message: Warning: Timeout for mainloop thread exceeded switching to nonthreaded mode (until mainloop wakes up again) It seems that ipython developers did catch the issue and made this message to be delivered so that at least you can go on working with your session. However, I cannot do anything with matplotlib after that message is given, and I have to get out of the session and start again if I want to plot something... This seems therefore linked to matplotlib and not ipython.. Just that now ipython does not get stuck anymore but provide a message regarding the thread issue. (Not very useful in this context for me unfortunately) See the ipython scipy thread in fact : http://lists.ipython.scipy.org/pipermail/ipython-user/2008-July/005628.html So as far as I can tell this is a matplotlib bug and noone so far encountering this problem has a really good idea why it occurs. Indeed the problem occurs *only* when I launch matplotlib commands (after some time in my ipython session). Really annoying but as mentioned before, I cannot get a set of commands which consistenly break the session, so... Eric Yannick Copin wrote: > I would say the pb is actually coming from ipython.
