[Mesa-users] Error in opening %pylab

[Evan Bauer]

Hi Gabriel,

I would recommend running ipython outside the Docker container if you want to use things like pylab. That will require installing python, ipython, etc on your windows machine if you haven't already. Remember, you can still access your MESA output from outside the container as long as it is in the docker_work directory.

Cheers,
Evan
