Hi,
I work in interactive mode and using pyplot in the IDLE shell.
I tried this simple code

from pylab import *
ion()
plot([1,2,3])

A window pops up but freezes and nothing shows up except it says at the top - not Responding.

Therefore, I tried the following.
Set my backend to be Tkagg and then set the interactive mode to True

Again wrote the above code (without ion())
...but same thing. Figure window freezes.

I tried other backends but to no effect.

Otherwise plot works when not in interactive mode. However, everytime I have to close the figure window to proceed with my calculations. I really would like to have the plots open when I am calculating.
Please advice. Help is appreciated,
Thank you,
