Hi Etienne, Sorry to hear about your disappointment. You can read about the attempt to resurrect the 3D plotting capabilities here: <http://www.nabble.com/Updating-MPlot3D-to-a-more-recent-matplotlib.-td22302256.html>
Unfortunately, this doesn't help you right now. Depending on the type of 3D plotting you want to do, some suggestions for other packages that support 3D plotting from Python and work now are: Mayavi2's mlab interface <http://code.enthought.com/projects/mayavi/docs/development/html/mayavi/mlab_3d_plotting_functions.html> gnuplot.py <http://gnuplot-py.sourceforge.net/> DISLIN <http://www.mps.mpg.de/dislin> R via RPy <http://rpy.sourceforge.net/> and I'm pretty sure there are more too. Right now, if mayavi2 looks like it'll do what you want, I'd recommend it as your next stop. And in my opinion, I wouldn't say that your time spent learning matplotlib was wasted - 2D plotting is usually useful and matplotlib may soon again have limited 3D capability. Gary R.
