A preliminary version of this is committed on the branch and trunk.
You can now do:
.. plot::
from matplotlib.pyplot import *
plot([1,2,3])
One open API question is whether to implicitly "from matplotlib.pyplot
import *" or "from matplotlib import pyplot as plt" or nothing. I
generally don't like "import *" or implicit things, so I've decided to
do none of the above. But I could see how it might be nice to reduce
the verbosity of these little code examples to import something be
default. Let me know if you feel strongly about changing it.
It has also been moved to the installed source directory, so other
projects no longer need to copy it. Just change the entry in the
extensions list in the Sphinx conf.py from 'plot_directive' to
'matplotlib.sphinxext.plot_directive' and remove your local copy of the
extension.
