We have been warning that 3D plotting was unsupported and needed someone to 
volunteer to maintain it for quite a while now. Nobody answered the call, and 
3d capabilities did not survive the transition to the new transforms in 
mpl-0.98, so it was removed, However...

3D support should still be present in 0.91.x. I just did a clean install of 
0.91.4 from svn, and this works:

import pylab as p
import matplotlib.axes3d as p3
fig=p.figure()
ax = p3.Axes3D(fig)
p.show()

I haven't used matplotlib's 3d capabilities, so I dont know how you expected 
to work with "from pylab import *" instead of the above. Perhaps you could 
give a short explicit example of what used to work and now does not.
