Sorry for the late reply, I did not have much time to look further into this.

Yes, I also get a segfault with Anaconda's Python 3.4. And the same plot example works from Python directly, both Python 2.7 and 3.4.

Since my main interest in the bridge is using non-graphical Python code from IDL, and using IDL plotting from Python (I find IDL way better than matplotlib), this issue has not affected me much, so I have not yet spent much time trying to fix this. I will try looking into which libraries get loaded, and if it differs when I use Python directly or from IDL.
