I expect that the plot is shown in a graphical window opened somewhere on screen, perhaps *under* the terminal window where you can't see it. Or maybe even a dialog box showing an error. Until that window or dialog is closed, the dispersion_plot command hasn't finished and Python will just wait forever. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
