[IPython-user] Running with pythonw

[Brice Thurin]

Dear all,

I installed recently ipython on a Mac under Mac OSX panther. I followed  
the instruction to use it with wx GUI.
When I looked at my ipython file in /usr/local/bin, I've got the right  
first line:
#!/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/Resources/ 
Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python

But when I run it with the -pylab option, I got the following message:
	This program needs access to the screen. Please run with 'pythonw',
	not 'python', and only when you are logged in on the main display of
	your Mac.
So, I am a bit confused.

The only way, i found to run it is to run first pythonw and then import  
IPyhton.
Unfortunately, the interactive mode is not working properly, when I use  
this way, as I don't know how to launch with the pylab option, with  
this way.

I thank you in advance for your help.

Brice
