(I'm an upstream developer). Agg is the upstream default *only* if none of the GUI backends are installed (pygtk, PyQt, wxPython, or Tkinter). It's really a failsafe case, not a default.
I would suggest making python-tk a hard dependency and setting TkAgg as the default. To address Joerg's suggestion -- it might be worth issuing a warning when "ipython -pylab" is started with a non-GUI backend. We can try to address that upstream, and I'll also submit a patch to this bug so it could be backported to 0.98.x -- [intrepid] No output in ipython because because of wrong default backend https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278764 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
