There's no difference in which functions can be plotted by PyX and which
ones by matplotlib? Both libraries allow you to plot any arbitrary
function which can be defined in Python.

Just as a side-node: Using PSTricks you can also plot every function you
are able to define in PostScript - which, depending on you programming
skills and patience, might imply a different set of functions as the one
mentioned above - only practically, though, theoretically, it of course
does not.
But concerning the way LaTeX comes into play, PyX and PSTricks are
entirely different. While PSTricks code is executed by the LaTex
interpreter, PyX actually calls LaTeX itself.

Now this looks like a totally different problem...
Best,
