Jerzy,
Yes, understood.
The issue here is that the function is documented incorrectly and I have made a
pull request to fix that.
Best regards,
Nathan.

Subject: Re: [Matplotlib-users] Entropy calculation incorrect?
This is a side-remark.
Please, don't exaggerate with the term "incorrect". Binary, decimal,
natural... logarithms, all this is just a matter of multiplicative
CONSTANT, and sometimes a question of convention.
I am a physicist, and for "us" the entropy is NOT given in bits. We use
natural logarithms, and in order to have the units appropriate for
statistical physics / thermodynamics, we multiply the result by the
Boltzmann constant, 1.38*10^(-23) Joule/Kelvin, and that's it.
Anyway, Eric Firing is right, all this has nothing to do with Matplotlib.
Best regards.
