Yes, there is currently no easy way to load PyPlot with a different backend 
like this.  I could add such a feature pretty easily, but the alternate 
command that allows you to continue using Matplotlib interactively is 
probably nicer anyway.

For this command, you certainly need to do "using PyCall" in order to 
access pyimport, but otherwise it looks like you are using exactly the same 
commands as in Python (albeit translated to Julia/PyCall syntax).   Glad to 
hear that this works!
