Scott,
In svn, barh does accept the 'log' kwarg via **kwargs, and your example
works correctly. Here is the relevant CHANGELOG entry, after 0.90 was
released:
2007-03-03 Change barh to take a kwargs dict and pass it to bar.
Fixes sf bug #1669506.
I think it was just a matter of changing the barh signature to:
def barh(self, bottom, width, height=0.8, left=None, **kwargs):
but I haven't looked back at the svn records to check that.
