I see you posted on this subject in 2009 and did some monkey patching to work around the problem for spyder http://old.nabble.com/Qt4-backend%3A-critical-bug-with-PyQt4-v4.6%2B-td26205716.html This was a while ago so I don't know if your suggestions are still appropriate for recent pyqt and mpl. Would you have a minute to take a look at this mpl issue https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/711 and advise us on a fix? Thanks, JDH
