Thanks -- I haven't had a chance to test drive this yet, but I do have a
couple questions:
1. Do you need to add a call to pyplot.gcf().clear(), in case of
multiple blocks in a session?
2. Would it make sense to wrap in pyplot.rc_context, so that we can use
the :width and :height arguments like ob-R? E.g.,
with pyplot.rc_context({'figure.figsize': (8,5)}):
pyplot.plot([1,2,3,4,5])
pyplot.gcf().savefig('filename.png')
Will create a png file with width 8 and height 5.
