Howdy,
The Qt4 backend appears to be broken in the Mac py2.6 binaries, using OS X 10.5.7 and the latest version of the Qt SDK from qt.nokia.com. I don't have the machine handy right this second but using plot() from an IPython interpreter with my backend set to Qt4Agg causes a hard crash for me every single time.
I should note that TraitsBackendQt seems to work fine, so at least PyQt doesn't (on the surface) appear to be at the root of it.
I'm wondering if it's a peculiarity of my system. Can anyone reproduce this? (this is an Intel Mac, by the way)
David
I would be very surprised if this is due to the backend. More likely a
mismatch between sip and pyqt versions.

I don't think so, there is no extension code associated with the qt
backend. What platform are you using? Ubuntu/debian, by chance?

I actually grabbed both of them yesterday from riverbankcomputing.co.uk,
PyQt-4.5.4 and sip-4.8.2. Is it possible that the backend is disagreeing
with these because it was built against an older version? (I'm using
matplotlib binary releases)
Huh, very strange then. I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.7.
