I know that I (as the other contributer :) ) plan on making this into a full backend provided: 1) The quadmesh code can be shown yield the gains when integrated into matplotlib more fully 2) I find the time (which is a matter of *when*, not if) I'm certainly finding thus far that pyglet makes it a lot easier to do a full backend than some of the other python->opengl methods I'd explored in the past.
