Thanks for all the responses. I'll try pure Python via the Spyder IDE vs. Ipython/Ipython Notebook for this and report back. The 'No Pylab Thanks' was enlightening.
I am confused about the role of the Notebook interface. I've been using it to learn the language, do experiments, and preserve tips/tricks I pick up along the way.

But, it sounds like it there are some hidden issues in how the notebook i/f interacts with matplotlib? Is it not the best choice for learning plotting? If not, what's recommended - IDE?
