If you open up a DOS command shell and run
from matplotlib.matlab import *
plot([1,2,3])
show()
with
c:> python myscript.py -dGTKAgg
what happens?
The hard drive grinds away for a couple of seconds, then I get an Invalid Page Fault dialog with Python in the title bar. When I close the dialog, the DOS prompt returns, so it's not crashing the DOS window. No other windows appear in this sequence.
When you run from windows explorer and get a traceback,
you often lose the DOS window that provides the required information.
So it's best to debug from a command shell, though admittedly most of
the windows shells suck.
Agreed. I use cygwin when I need a shell usually, although for the above test I used a standard windows command shell.
This is intentional. Since Tkinter doesn't have a mainloop, we switch
python to interactive mode after TkAgg finishes it's business and the
Tk window remains open until the python shell is closed.
Oh. Thanks for explaining.
I would be surprised if it's win98 specific. I haven't seen any
problems so far that were specific to just one windows OS. They're
basically all the same as far as I can see, Microsoft just keeps
shrinkwrapping them and recharging you for themI have win98 at
home so I'll try and test a version there.
It'll be interesting to see if it's specific to my system which is always a possibility.
Thanks John.
