My 2c:
Don't bother yet about dates: first get the plot as you want it, assuming that
your x data are floats (use date2num if needed). Then you can tackle the
problem of displaying dates.
If you poke around the sources (axes.py). you'll find that 'plot_date' is only
'plot', where a couple of extra parameters are set:
if xdate:
self.xaxis_date(tz)
'xdate' is a flag indicating whether the data on the x axis are dates (True)
or not (False), 'tz' is the timezone flag (default to None), and 'self' is
your current axes object (you can get its handle by gca() if you haven't
specified it otherwise).
Combining these pieces of information should to the trick (or most of it).
Let us know how it goes anyway.
