adding labels to individual boxplots

Hi,

The current boxplot function in matplotlib does not appear to support
labels for individual boxplots, if there are several on the same plot.

I know I can manually add labels, but would prefer not to do so, since
I am trying to automate the process of graph creation as much as
possible.

Is there perhaps something that I am overlooking, that would make this
possible?

I'm currently using matplotlib 0.82, as packaged by Debian. Sorry, I
know this is out of date, but it is easier to use the Debian package.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
