Matplotlib native 'MacOSX' backend broken in '-pylab' mode

[minrk]

When the matplotlib backend is specified as native MacOSX, and ipython is started with '-pylab' the plotting backend hangs, and no plots ever appear.

When not started in '-pylab' mode, the MacOSX backend works fine.

Perhaps related: MacOSX is not one of the options available to pass to pylab mode, as in:
ipython -pylab macosx

which should certainly work.

This is a new issue introduced in 0.11, and 0.10.2 still works fine with the native backend.

add 'osx' to known pylab backends, fix pylab mode with MacOSX backend
