That's the problem - I start the notebook server with the --pylab=inline 
option to allow for matplotlib graphics to show up inline as per the 
documentation: 
http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/stable/interactive/htmlnotebook.html

I don't understand what the option does other than that, so I didn't 
realize that it came with side effects like those below. I don't suppose 
there's any way to set the notebook up so plots are displayed inline 
without masking the builtin functions? If not, would

any = __builtins__.any
all = __builtins__.all

possibly break the inline plotting?

Cheers, g
