With gnuplot one can do a plot like that :

It is using option "with impulse".
Is there an equivalent in matplotlib?
Maybe not directly as a "plot style". But...
If you need to fill the curve with a color you can see this example:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/screenshots/fill_demo.py
If you need the "bar" itself you can use the bar() function.
If you need impulses composed by just "a line" you can use this function:
def impulse(X, Y, color='blue', **kwargs):
"""Plot an "impulse" graph similar to the gnuplot 'impulse' function."""
if len(X) != len(Y):
raise ValueError, "X and Y data must be of the same length."
ax = gca()
for x, y in zip(X, Y):
ax.plot([x, x], [0, y], color=color, **kwargs)
You can pass to it any plot() keyword-argument to customize line style.
