Python shell despite no IPython problems

Hi,

I am on Windows 7 64 bit SP1 and I installed matplotlib via wheels files here http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#matplotlib but now whenever I execute plotting commands from the python shell (e.g., the 'hi mom' example here http://matplotlib.org/1.4.3/users/shell.html?highlight=mailing%20list#other-python-interpreters) it seems like as though some window is trying to pop up but nothing does. Whereas if I try the the hist example here (http://matplotlib.org/1.4.3/users/shell.html?highlight=mailing%20list#ipython-to-the-rescue) in IPython I get a graph pop-up that seems fine.

Thanks for your time,
Brenton

Oh and I have made the mentioned customizations to matplotlibrc
(although the TkAgg line was already present). My python version is
2.7.9 and matplotlib version is 1.4.3.
