ginput(0) termination error

Hello list;

I'm new to python/matplotlib, migrating from IDL. I need to do some
interactive point selection with mouse, and the pyplot.ginput() routine
seemed to be just the right thing here. I do however need to be able to
make a not previously specified number of clicks, so ginput(n=0) is a
requirement.

However, when I press enter on my laptop (with no middle mouse button),
I get the error message:

TypeError: stop_event_loop() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)

I've tried two different pieces of example code from the matplotlib SF
page.
I'm using Matplotlib 0.99.1 on Ubuntu 10.04.
Is there any solution or workaround? If I cannot have this
functionality, it is, unfortunately, kind of a deal breaker for at least
some of my work, and I'd like to keep it purely Python.

Best regards;

Emil

Bump - no one knows a solution/workaround to this?

Can't you do ginput(n=1) in a while loop? Ginput needs to end at some point, right? Initiating a never ending loop seems like the wrong solution for any real-life problem.

I think this is a known bug (unfortunately, the bug fix does not seem
to be reflected in the maintenance version), but without a full
traceback, I'm not 100% sure.

You may use the svn version which have fixed this bug, or you may try
the workaround described in the link below (check the
clabel_monkeypatching.py).

To temporarily solve the problem and be able to use ginput, I applied
patch 8078 against my matplotlib installation (on debian)

Thanks guys for your advice.

My mail server has been weird since yesterday so I only just saw your
messages now. In the meantime, I managed to hack and extend the
LineBuilder class code snippet at http://goo.gl/RLGS to actually meet my
needs better than ginput - but, obviously, much less portable and
elegant; I have only been working with Python for a couple of weeks.
