advice on writing an application

Matplotlib is an incredible piece of software. I agree with

Just let me know when and where to show up :slight_smile:

Ken, Matt: would either or both of you like to bundle these packages
into the mpl releases so they would be easier for users to find and
use? We could either put them in the main release or in a "toolbox".

As a (new) MPL user, I think it's an excellent proposal. Both WxMpl and MPlot are MPL extensions, anyway, and they're probably extremly useful for a large proportion of MPL users.

I'd like to know what do you all think about the wxmpl < mplot < pylab stack idea, by the way...

John,

I would be inclined to vote for the toolbox option. I gather that these are substantial backend-specific extensions, so they don't seem very appropriate for the main mpl package. Disclosure: I don't use wxpython and haven't tried it recently.
