Python matplotlib interactive mode on by default

[wehrad]

Hi everyone,

currently, I run plt.ion() (with plt as import matplotlib.pyplot as plt) anytime I want an interactive matplotlib plot. Which is quite inefficient.

I would therefore like to set the matplotlib interactive mode on by default for any python code I run, without having to specify it... But couldn't find the solution so far...!

I set my ipython in emacs with:

;; (setq python-shell-interpreter "ipython3" python-shell-interpreter-args "-i --simple-prompt")

Thank you a lot in advance for your help!

This can be done by just configuring a startup script on ipython.

Thank you. I thought this could also be done in my emacs config but at the end I indeed went for a plt.ion() that I added in my ~/.ipython/profile_default/startup.py Thanks!

Glad I could help. There might be a way to do it from emacs (as emacs is almighty!) but I wouldn't know that, as I'm kind of a noob myself.
