hello,
I get a segmentation fault with the pylab mode and I made several
test to track down a bug but it's beyond my level and I still don't now
if it's an ipython bug or matplotlib bug ...
let's reproduce the bug !!!!
···
________________
____/ try 1 Qt4Agg \_____
phil@...3433... ~ % ipython -pylab
In [1]: plt.plot([4])
segmentation fault ipython -pylab
By default I have Qt4Agg as backend but it doesn't work with all
backends
_______________
____/ try 2 TkAgg \_____
phil@...3433... ~ % ipython -pylab
In [1]: plt.rcParams['backend']='TkAgg'
In [2]: plt.get_backend()
Out[2]: 'TkAgg'
In [3]: plt.plot([4])
segmentation fault ipython -pylab
____________________________
____/ try 3 Qt4Agg + backtrace \_____
I made a backtrace with gdb
phil@...3433... ~ % gdb python

____/ try 4 Qt4Agg + q4thread \_____
With a ipython -pylab -q4thread
everything seems to work except the autoindent feature
___________________
____/ try 5 python -i \_____
with python -i no pb at all
phil@...3433... ~ % python -i

____/ specs \_____
here is my python package :
- dev-lang/python-2.7.1
- dev-python/numpy-1.5.1
- sci-libs/scipy-0.8.1
- dev-python/matplotlib-1.0.1 (with the USEFLAGS cairo examples excel
gtk latex qt4 tk traits wxwidgets -doc -fltk)
- dev-python/ipython-0.10.1 (with the USEFLAGS doc examples readline
smp wxwidgets -emacs -gnuplot -test)
At this point I'm lost !!! any idea
