contour3D in matplotlib

The gallery had a comprehensive set of available three dimensional plots, I think.

Is there something similar in matplotlib ?

I am aware of the gallery but I didn’t find a similar picture I am looking for.
If something is comprehensive, it is complete and includes everything that is important.

Shall I create a feature request for isosurface plots in matplotlib ?

There are fundamental limitations of mplot3d that would make such a feature a disaster. You can plot a single surface just fine, but if you try plotting multiple surfaces, they do not get composed correctly (what I have dubbed the “Escher effect”). That problem would have to be solved first. In the past 5 years, I have yet to figure out a solution that doesn’t utterly upend matplotlib.

That doesn’t mean that it isn’t solvable, I just haven’t figured it out, nor do I really have that much motivation or resources to figure it out. There was a discussion thread a few months back that raised a couple ideas that might be promising, though, if you want to look take a stab at the problem.
