The documentation for FuncAnimation says
http://matplotlib.org/api/animation_api.html#matplotlib.animation.FuncAnimation

     Makes an animation by repeatedly calling a function func,
     passing in (optional) arguments in fargs.

     frames can be a generator, an iterable, or a number of frames.

I do not think FuncAnimation can be understood from this
documentation.  (At least, I did not understand it.)
I think it should read:

     Makes an animation by repeatedly calling a function `func`,
     passing in a value from `frames` and any (optional) arguments in `fargs`.

     `frames` can be a generator, an iterable, or an integer number of frames.
     Passing `frames=n` for integer `n` is equivalent to passing `range(n)`.

Does this seem correct?

Thanks,
Alan Isaac

PS It would be nice if repeat accepted an integer number of repetitions.
