I have to agree with Giorgio in general. Unfortunately, the threading
support required by matplotlib isn't implemented in pyScripter, which
means that it's a nice environment until you want to do some plotting,
when it becomes a bit flaky. I haven't checked eclipse's behaviour with
matplotlib.
I've had similar problems running wxPython code under certain IDEs where
things can go very poorly (dramatic crashing, or it just wont execute).
At least with the wx or wxagg backends, I have no trouble running
matplotlib demos such as ellipse_demo.py from inside eclipse+pydev.

Thank for all the reply.
I will sure have a look at the video that Oliver suggest and I also
downloaded Eclipse.
I'm happy that someone also shared my problems in teaching python.
I'm aware that python/scipy were not started as a clone matlab (well
matlibplot was started as something similar ;)
Dear List -
Thanks for the discussion on the issue of the real strength of the
Python/matplotlib/numpy/scipy combo.
I use Python for both development and teaching, but my biggest question
concerned teaching.
When I teach, I need something easy and powerful, but also something that is
easy to

Yes, matplotlib AFAIK wanted (and probably wants) to be something
similar, and it's bad, because mpl is too good in itself to be forced to
be just

3. Make an who option.
On the bright side, I get quite a few people converted that don't want to go
back anymore

Have you looked at iPython? I think it's a great way
to go. Check it out.

Thanks for starting this discussion and sorry for
the late reply.
Use of Python with matplotlib in the classroom and
by students in general is
a major objective
I always thought ipython didn't come with a good editor.
Am I mistaken?

Oh, I see. You probably want an development
envirnoment. Sorry. IPython is great for
interactively running code, but not too great for any
editing. I do my editing in a
Mark,
you can set ipython (in the ipythonrc.ini) to start up the editor of your
choice when you type edit in the ipython-shell.
Check out this video at ShowMeDo, that shows a lot of the features of
ipython:

You can run ipython _from_ emacs. Needs a bit of messing about with
your .emacs, but once you've set it up, it works very well. Object
introspection and the debugger are very nice; you can execute code
fragments etc. Not quite a 'development environment', but a long way
towards one.

I always thought that the focus of matplotlib towards matlab-like
interactivity is fundamentally flawed. Matlab-like interactivity is damn
good when it is needed, but for that purpose in the free world there are
already the

You are not mistaken, and this is by design: ipython is not an IDE,
it's the interactive component of a python workflow.
As others have mentioned (thanks to all, btw), it
As for a good IDE. I really like eclipse with pydev. For easy
student/beginner setup, easyclipse has a nice python eclipse distribution

Hello to all,
I've thread that apperead some time ago on this list about matlab and
teaching.
I've discovered python recently and translated part of the routine I
use in python (www.chemometrics.it).
Some of my collegue asked me if I could show them how to use python. For
matlab user I guess
