[IPython-dev] QT backend failure on EPD 7.1 w ipython master

[Ilan Schnell]

matplotlib does not support PySide yet, however the
qtconsole works with either:
  *  --pylab=inline; in which case matplotlib generates an svn which is
    then rendered by ipython's qtconsole
  * --pylab; in which case (in EPD) matplotlib's wx backend is used in
    an external window
