Problem with show()

I was running my example with the -pylab option set in ipython, and adding a
call to plt.ion() doesn't change things. I also run gtkagg backend. I guess I
have a problem with my installation of matplotlib, unless this is something
that changed after mpl-1.0. I will try mpl-svn next and see.

Luckily enough, using mpl-svn solved the problem.

BTW, I had issues following the instructions for cloning the git mirror
(http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/devel/coding_guide.html#cloning-the-git-mirror).
Something changed in github, or there's typo somewhere?

Instead of:
# Download the entire git repository into "matplotlib", name the source
repository "svn".
git clone --origin svn git@...3310...:astraw/matplotlib.git

I ended up doing:
git clone --origin svn git://github.com/astraw/matplotlib.git

The rest of instructions worked fine (at least it seems to me).

Yeah, those instructions should be changed. The current instructions would presume that you would use your github username in-place of the ‘git’ username. Your command works fine for everyone who just wants to pull from the repo.
