Hmm -- I'm not set up to build it right now -- but I'll see what I can do.

Would you mind testing the very simple patch in the PR [1] and confirm 
that it has no negative consequences for you?

I embed MPL more than other uses, and this sounds like a fine solution to me/

I'm considering changing the behavior of the rcParam |interactive| 
(which also can be set through |matplotlib.interactive()| and 
|pyplot.ion()| and |pyplot.ioff()|). Currently, when setting 
|interactive| to |True|, running any sort of matplotlib plot as a script 
will fail to display a window. This can be very surprising if a user 
turns on |interactive| because they prefer its behavior in IPython, but 
are then surprised that none of their scripts continue to work. I 
propose to fix this by turning on |interactive| only when running at an 
interactive console.
See the pull request http://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/2286 
for an implementation.
I'm trying to rule out any negative impact of this change, and I would 
appreciate any feedback if this change will have a negative impact on 
your application.
Mike
