Description
Environment: OS X Mavericks
Anaconda python distribution (python 2.7.8)
IPython 2.2.0
Seaborn 0.4
In an ipython terminal or qtconsole, it works with running
In [1]: %matplotlib
Using matplotlib backend: MacOSX
In [2]: from pylab import *
In [3]: plot(range(5))
Out[3]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D at 0x10d73dd50>]However, after importing seaborn, the macosx backend breaks
In [4]: import seaborn as sns
In [5]: plot(range(5))
Out[5]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D at 0x10c10eb90>]
In [6]: Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: bad argument type for built-in operationInterestingly, using %matplotlib inline in an IPython notebook works fine. Also, using another backend such as "Qt4Agg" works fine in IPython terminal or qtconsole.
