Greetings, MPL'ers.
After playing with backends quite a bit, I have found that the best one in
terms of speed, robustness, and features is Qt4Agg - especially on OSX,
where the MacOSX backend is buggy and many others just don't plain work.
To my great disappointment, I have found that this backend doesn't work on
some machines anymore. As soon as a plot is created, ipython stops
responding, python CPU usage goes to 100%+, and I have to kill ipython or
shut the terminal. I am not the only person to experience this; a co-worker
has the same problem. It didn't use to be like this; it has started
happening after an update a few months ago (I'm not sure what update, I use
macports so I update in batches.)
To complicate matters, on a mac laptop (which is updated on a similar
schedule as my desktop machine), I do not have this problem. Everything
works flawlessly.
Has anyone else had this problem, and does anyone know of a solution?
Thanks for your help.
Details:
All software through MacPorts.

python 2.6.6
