I am having a weird problem on IDLE. After I plot something using show
() of matplotlib, the python shell prompt in IDLE just freezes that I
cannot enter anything and there is no new ">>>" prompt show up. I
tried ctrl - C and it didn't work. I have to restart IDLE to use it
again.

My system is Ubuntu Linux 9.04. I used apt-get to install IDLE.
