Error using @pyimport on Ubuntu 13.04 using python 2.7.4 about pycall.jl HOT 4 CLOSED

Maybe install the python2.7-dev package?

Or manually run pyinitialize("/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1"). It is annoying that it is so difficult to automatically detect the name of the Python library...

Installing the python-dev package did the trick! Thanks for the quick response and awesome package.

While trying the plotting example supplied in your documentation, I found that pylab.show() blocks execution of julia until the plot window is closed. I tried using the code you provided in Issue 21, but got the following error

julia> wx_eventloop()
ERROR: PyError (PyImport_ImportModule) <type 'exceptions.ImportError'>
ImportError('No module named wx',)

Is there a solution to allowing plots to be non-blocking?

Thanks,
Peter

Probably you don't have the wxWindows package installed and are using the GTK interface with pylab. I have a GTK event loop, too, but the wx one works better and I would tend to recommend installing wx. Please continue discussion in #21.
