    "persistent" plot windows

    Hi all,

    I'm trying to write a python script using plotting form pylab.
    Unfortunatelly I've encountered a problem. When I run the script via
    'python myscript.py' the plot windows open and close very quickly, or
    when I added the show() command the shell window was locked until I
    closed the figures.

    My question is: is there a way to open those windows in the background
    without blocking the shell and without running it interactively??
    something like gnuplot -persist?

    Thanks all,
    Rodrigo Lopez-Negrete

          Hi James,

          Thanks for the answer, the ampersand only works if I use the show()
          command at the end of my script. I guess that helps although I haven't
          tested it with plotting subroutines.

          cheers,
          Rodrigo
