[Matplotlib-users] plt.ion() doesn't enable interactive mode when ran as script on mac osx 10.8.5

[Petar Bakalov]

Using python 2.7.5 and matplotlib 1.4.0 on mac OSX 10.8.5.

The output of the following snippet:

import matplotlib.pyplot as pltplt.ion()print "Is interactive:?",
plt.isinteractive()

when ran from shell ($ python snippet.py) is:

Is interactive? : 0

i.e. interactive mode does not work.

I think that this is not the expected behaviour. How can this be fixed?

The same code produces

Is interactive? : 1

(i.e. works fine) when ran in an interactive python terminal on the same
machine.

I installed python using brew and matplotlib using pip.

Best regards,
Petar
