pylab without X11

[marc]

This may help ... or not ( 2nd part )

try not to do pylab.figure()

in your script:
pylab.plot, or pylab.imshow or whatever you want to use
then
savefig("myFigure.png")    for example
do not use show()


in my case ( with the WXAgg backend ), it works, it generates the png file
