I tried this now with (width = 7cm = 2.67in)
In [1]: figure(figsize=(2.67,2))
Out[1]: <matplotlib.figure.Figure object at 0x8c3b36c>
In [2]: subplot(111)
Out[2]: <matplotlib.axes.AxesSubplot object at 0x8c3b3ec>
and the problem is that the remaining (abolute) space of the margin
ist too small for the whole labeling (ticks and axis). But I dont
want to adjust all the default values every time a what a plot in
my latex document.

Shortly: Yes this is a problem but pgf could solve it.
I dont know it exactly but if you do all the graphic stuff with pgf in
latex so you can adjust the text boxes in a various way in respect to
different points. E.g. baseline -left, -right, -center and so on. This is
explaind in the pgfmanual in section 53.3.3.
If I fly over the pgfmanual I get the impression that I could do
everything with it :-) But to do this its a hard work (for beginners).
Therefore I like to have the convinient pylab-interface to create pretty
standard plots for latex.
