As you've already been told, you can't pickle/shelve mpl objects. Our solution to this is to have a native python shadow object that contains all the bits and pieces needed to create a figure, and always build the plots from these shadow objects. This gives us the advantage of being able to shelve the shadow objects and rebuild the figures later. Of course, we're doing this in context of a large program using the mpl api, so if you're just using pylab, you're a bit SOL.
