I am having a weird problem on IDLE. After I plot something using show () of matplotlib, the python shell prompt in IDLE just freezes that I cannot enter anything and there is no new ">>>" prompt show up. I tried ctrl - C and it didn't work. I have to restart IDLE to use it again.
My system is Ubuntu Linux 9.04. I used apt-get to install IDLE. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
