Guessing about what you want:

Does the class change with time? that is, perhaps you have a class  
foo, and foo evolves, and you would like to plot a history of some  
traits of foo, but at any given moment foo only contains its current  
state?

If so, I think you need to have a function in foo, or even a separate  
class, that takes `snapshots' of foo's traits on one schedule, and  
stores them, and can also plot them on some schedule. Choosing how to  
do that is more a python problem than a matplotlib problem;  
personally, I have something set up so class 'profile' has functions  
to 'setup_plot' and 'add_current_state_to_plot', and I just have to  
choose when to call the latter.

Or you can just store the values and plot at the end; once you have  
one list of the times, and a separate list of each trait's history at  
those times, you're set up for matplotlib plotting, e.g.

from pylab import *
plot(times, traitA, times, traitB, times, traitC)
show()

although, while looking for a simple example, I found this:

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/plotfile_demo.html

which is not totally simple but looks great.
