figures not showing in IJulia

[axsk]

Ran into this problem about two weeks ago, and it still persists with newest Julia nightly and Pkg.update(). (Gadfly plots are working..)
Is there anyone else who can confirm this?

Here the code:

using PyPlot
x = linspace(0,2*pi,1000)
y = sin(3*x + 4*cos(2*x));
plot(x, y, color="red", linewidth=2.0, linestyle="--")

I just ran into this myself. On my laptop (where I had been having other package problems), I got rid of it by deleting the ~/.julia directory and re-installing the packages, but now I ran into it on my other machine too; I'm not sure what is going on yet.

I am on a Mac; is that the case for you too?

I am using 32bit-Julia on Windows8.
Maybe #119 is connected to this problem, as both involve IJulia.

The error seems related to PNG (binary image) output, as SVG (ascii data) output works (do PyPlot.svg(true))

It seems to come from JuliaPy/PyCall.jl@183c915 ... reverting this patch fixes the problem (on Python 2). I think that the problem is that on Python 2 it is trying to convert binary data to a UTF-8 string and getting confused by the encoding. I need to figure out the correct conversion here.

Should be fixed by the latest PyCall version.

Although late, thank you!
It's working :)
