ggplot for matplotlib

I just learned about this today, and thought I’d share. It’s an
implementation of the ggplot interface on top of matplotlib:

Seems like a lot of what they are doing could be upstreamed into matplotlib. Then they could just wrap it in their own ggplot syntax. That would improve matplotlib and simplify the maintainance for them.

Awesome. I saw this on HackerNews a few days ago and got really excited about it. So a big +1 from me.
