Plot aesthetics

Hi, recently I've been using the beautiful (and easy-to-use) pycha[1] package for simple bar charts:

So far, pycha is the closest thing I've found to Office 2007-caliber aesthetics. However, pycha is much more limited than matplotlib, and I happen to need error bars on the bar charts to illustrate standard deviation. Is it possible to do produce (for instance) the above chart using matplotlib (preferably without lots of coding)?

Here's the pycha homepage: http://bitbucket.org/lgs/pycha/wiki/Home

Thanks in advance!
