This is documented in /usr/share/doc/python-matplotlib/INTERACTIVE :

To use matplotlib interactively from the prompt, you need a special
interpreter that doesn't enter the gtk mainloop. One is provided in
examples/interactive.py. The coew functionality of this interpreter
was provided by Brian McErlean and John Finlay. See the header for
more info.

Using interactive.py (from the python-matplotlib-doc package) interactive plotting seems to work OK.
