Hi,
I'd love to have a backend which outputs skencil .sk files with text rendered
through the skLaTeX plugin. For those who don't know it, skencil is a vector
drawing program written in python. Its skLaTeX plugin allows to include LaTeX
text in the drawing. Right now I'm creating eps files with matplotlib with the
'xpdf' distiller option and convert it to skencil file format with pstoedit
which works but which is not very convenient.
Has anybody already done something like that before? I don't know if I'll find
the time to try it myself. In case not, please accept it as feature request.

you could try using the matplotlib SVG backend. Skencil can import SVG,
although skencil can only use the old X-style font system, so my plots
(which use Bitstream Vera fonts by default) didn't look too nice. You
could fix this by setting more compatible fonts in the matplotlibrc
presumably.
Alternatively, you could try Inkscape in place of Skencil for editing
SVG files. Inkscape can print to PS/EPS/AI for inclusion in a LateX or
skencil document (.ai). It can optionaly convert text to paths, avoiding
the font problems.
