Hi folks,

I've added this little bit of code to the default ipython -pylab startup:

        exec ("import numpy\n"
              "import numpy as np\n"
              "import matplotlib\n"
              "import matplotlib.pylab as pylab\n"
              "try:\n"
              "    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt\n"
              "except ImportError:\n"
              "    pass\n"
              ) in user_ns

to try and encourage use of the 'canonical' ways of calling/executing
numpy and mpl calls.  This is just in my branch, not publicly visible
yet.  I wanted to know:

1. If I should keep the try/except around.
2. If this is your 'approved' manner of loading.  It worries me a bit
that if we promote pyplot/plt as the entry point, it needs a proper
docstring.  Just try 'pylab?' vs 'pyplot?' and you'll see the
difference.

Cheers,

f
