Closes #28324.
This fixes the use of
plt.show(block=False)
inipython
without specifying a particular backend beforehand. The recent refactor of backend handling in IPython/Matplotlib removed the call toip.enable_gui
ininstall_repl_displayhook
but in this particular use case it is still needed. If a backend is specified in ipython beforehand (viaipython --matplotlib
or%matplotlib
for example) then IPython already knows about the correct event loop, but if not then IPython needs to be explicitly told about it viaip.enable_gui
.So really this is putting functionality back in that I erroneously removed in the backend refactor.
On macos the default
macosx
backend needs an extra fix in IPython that I will link to.
