> Hope this helps! I'm sorry, but I couldn't get that shell script to work. I tried copying everything between the "perforations" into a MPL.sh file. Then I executed the file as bash MPL.sh That didn't work. I also tried making a Python file from the portion that looks like Python code, but I couldn't get that to do anything useful either.

I would like a patch for this too, if you don't mind! IPython was my next step after matplotlib.
