Actually, on my system, I have issues before even calling plt.show(). The example above (w/o plt.show) should quit without showing any sort of plot, but on my system, python/textmate just hangs. The hanging happens regardless of whether or not I call plt.show.

Since both you and Mark (see previous reply) can get around this issue by removing dylib but I can't, either there are two different issues or I have tm_interactive_input.dylib in some as-yet-undiscovered location. So far I've removed the dylib from:

~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Support/lib/
/Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/

Is this file copied or cached anywhere else? (I've already searched with Finder and the locate command.)

Can you use Activity Monitor to sample the hung process?

Yes, I can. I get back a ridiculously call graph, but I'm not sure if it's actually helpful (but, then again I don't really know what I'm looking at). If it'd be helpful, I could post the full graph somewhere.

The dylib could also been in:
/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Support/lib/
