PyPlot not working in IJulia

[kzahedi]

I am using IJulia 0.1.12 with PyPlot 1.2.7 on Mac OS X 10.9.3, Safari 7.0.4 and julia 0.3.0-prerelease+3679

The following lines work well when I call them from the command line:

using PyPlot
plot(rand(10))

but give me the following errors, when I call them from within IJulia:

INFO: Loading help data...
PyError (PyObject_Call) <type 'exceptions.RuntimeError'>

I haven't seen this error before. How did you install matplotlib?

[stevengj]

(Probably a PyPlot issue rather than an IJulia issue.)

[kzahedi]

I used easy_install.

I wasn't sure where to post this error message, since PyPlot works fine, if I call it from the command line.

Closing in favor of JuliaPy/PyPlot.jl#62
