Hello list !

This is probably a recurrent topic, or even more probably HAVE been a 
recurrent topic... So sorry, sorry, sorry... I wanted to search the 
archives but Sourceforge is very slow today (...).

Anyway, here is my question:

Is it right that Matplotlib can no longer plot 3D graphes?
The scipy Cookbook / Matplotlib / mplot3D says:
> The examples below show simple 3D plots using matplotlib. matplotlib's 
> 3D capabilities were added by incorporating John Porter's mplot3d 
> module, thus no additional download is required any more, the 
> following examples will run with an up to date matplotlib 
> installation. Note, this code is not supported in matplotlib-0.98 and 
> later, so please use the 0.91 maintenance release of matplotlib if you 
> need this functionality.
Which seems a bit like saying one thing and the opposite in the next 
sentence...

So if I understand correctly, for some obscure reason, Matplotlib has 
been stripped from its 3D plot capabilities... and this same website 
suggest the use of another package instead...

Does it mean that all my efforts to understand and learn Matplotlib are 
just a big waste of time since I need another package now that I need 3D 
plot? So I ask you for advice: should I forget completely Matplotlib and 
move to MayaVI2? Or is there any plan to bring 3D back into Matplotlib, 
I mean to make a proper and complete alternative to Matlab?

Or am I just upset because I am missing something. I only plot data 
every 4 or 6 months, and I really don't expect to see major 
functionalities to have disappeared when I come back to plotting data... 
is it a wrong expectation?

Thanks !!
-Etienne
