However when I call this the plot never shows up (the python app launches, but there is no window). Commenting out the ion() shows the plot and it blocks on show(). Am I doing something wrong, or is this just broken?\n\n```\nimport time\nfrom matplotlib import pyplot as plt\n\nplt.figure()\nplt.ion()\nplt.plot(range(5))\nplt.show()\nwhile 1:\n    time.sleep(1)\n```\n\nVersions:\n\n```\n2.7.10 (default, Oct 23 2015, 19:19:21) \n[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 7.0.0 (clang-700.0.59.5)]\nmatplotlib-1.5.3-cp27-cp27m-macosx_10_6_intel.macosx_10_9_intel.macosx_10_9_x86_64.macosx_10_10_intel.macosx_10_10_x86_64.whl\n```\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/aholtzma","@type":"Person","name":"aholtzma"},"datePublished":"2016-10-25T20:39:37.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/7351/matplotlib/issues/7351"}
