Hi,

Interactive matplotlib shuts down on me.

I'm sorry, I do not have an example to reproduce the error. I don't even have a feeling when it happens. However, better to get it reported than be quiet,right?

I am using ipython from trunk (0.9.0.bzr.r1016 on python2.5, ubuntu 8.04 x86) and when working interactive with matplotlib (-pylab) I have (just a couple of times) recieved the warning:

Warning: Timeout for mainloop thread exceeded
switching to nonthreaded mode (until mainloop wakes up again)

After this warning, the matplotlib figures will no longer show or an empty figure pops up. Well, I am guessing my pylab thread got killed, right?

I have tried to reload matplolib and pylab, but that was obviously not a remedy. To me, the only solution was to restart ipython which is a major pain.
Is there perhaps some other way around?
Can I restart a pylab thread interactively ?

Thanks,
Arnar
