A fellow student approached me today wanting to know if matplotlib was able to produce a certain kind of 3d plot where a filled contour was placed on one of the axes panels. I knew it was possible with regular contours, but was surprised when I realized that the same feature wasn’t available for contourf. So I wrote a patch to add that feature (and clean up a few documentation-related things). I also added an example script with examples/mplot3d/contourf3d_demo2.py.
This is the image produced by the example:

This was committed in r8915.
Enjoy!

Nice! Thank you!
On a related note, a considerable fraction of the mpl bug tickets on sourceforge are for mplot3d. For a while I was assigning them to Reinier Heeres, but I think he has been unable to get to them. I suspect some are actually quite simple to fix, and others may already have been fixed by work you have been doing on mplot3d. If you get a chance, please look through them and close any that can be closed. If there are any that you think you will be able to address, but not immediately, please assign them to yourself.
Thanks.
