[Matplotlib-users] Windows7: figure window "not responding"

[Thomas Caswell]

I do exactly this as well (but on linux)!

The symptoms your are describing sounds like the GUI event loop is not
being spun behind the scenes (see
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/4779 for some draft text at
explaining how all of that works).  Have you tried doing `%matplotlib` is
IPython?
