[Tutor] Closing a matplotlib window after show()

The code below is a typical example of matplotlib use. I've used it both in xp and win7 in IDLE. It produces the required plos and stop with the plot display. If I close the plot window with the x in the upper right corner, the shell window is left open. I have to do the same to close it. If I

Re: [Tutor] Subprocess Stdout Redirection

Muhammad, I am no expert, but I think you have to call proc_log.close() in your StartProc() to make sure that the file is written out to disk.

Re: [Tutor] how to graph percentile -- matplotlib, Inkscape, or what?

Yes, you are right, I initially certainly didn't think of it as a function. Right now I am wondering if it would not be more straight forward to take for the 'axis' a bitmap background and place the needle (another bitmap) at the right position of the background. Come to think of it, PyX might

Solved. One does not need to install numpy before MPL. However, I thought that some modules did have to be installed in a particular order. On 2/7/2010 3:20 AM, Wayne Watson wrote: On 2/7/2010 2:43 AM, Wayne Watson wrote: First, the end of the large log showed: 200 File Copy

[Tutor] why inline-only string literals?

Hello, I recently wrote a parser for a (game scripting) language in which ordinary strings inside quotes can hold (literal) newlines: s = "Hello, how do you do?" So, I wonder why most languages do not allow that from scratch; and some, like python, need a special syntax for multi-line strings.
