Yes, scatter is designed to plot markers only, and it does ignore the linestyles kw. > > I am trying to make a plot where the colour of the line changes as a > function of data value, but I don't want that each point (marker) is > plotted separately, but that the colour changes smoothly.

We don't have anything that gives this behavior directly, but it can be simulated with a LineCollection. See http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/MulticoloredLine.
