Hello, very nice! The only remaining problem is that an analysis library functions might return several figures. In my case the data depends on several parameters, and the function returns a dictionary containing for each parameter set statistics, histograms and plots. The user should be able to decide for which parameter he wants to pop up a plot, or save it to a file, but for your approach all these windows pop up automatically, and not only when the user does a fig.show() for the figure he is interested in. Unfortunately the latter does not work if the figure is an matplotlib.figure.Figure() instance, as in my approach.
