Not particularly. I use ipython in pylab mode. Louis's original request ("to open some simple windows and draw/plot figures from data") fits matplotlib's interactive mode particularly well. Unfortunately, it doesn't make for good examples. The best thing to do is to install ipython and run "ipython -pylab" and play around a bit. The important bit, of course, is ipython's GUI thread management. PyCrust also works (although you give up on ipython's other magnificent goodies). scipy's gui_thread might also work, but it has been obsoleted by ipython. -- Robert Kern [EMAIL PROTECTED] "In the fields of hell where the grass grows high Are the graves of dreams allowed to die." -- Richard Harter _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
