This appears to be your problem.  If you are using mpl in a wx app,
you should not be importing pylab or running ipython in pylab mode
because you will get mainloop conflicts.  Rather, use the matplotlib
API directly following the lead of examples/embedding_in_wx*.py and
tthen run ipython in -wthread mode rather than pylab mode.
