This module provides interactive 2-D plotting capabilities via the Grace
package. Why do we need yet another plotting package for Python? Simple.
None of the packages out there (that I've tried) currently offer all of the
following desirable properties:
Designed for use at the interactive prompt
Provide UI access to plot properties and allow changes on-the-fly
Tight integration with Numeric Python
A typical gracePlot session goes something like this:

>>> from gracePlot import gracePlot
>>> p = gracePlot() # A grace session opens
>>> p.plot( [1,2,3,4,5], [10, 4, 2, 4, 10], [1, 0.7, 0.5, 1, 2],
...         symbols=1 )  # A plot with errorbars & symbols
>>> p.title('Funding: Ministry of Silly Walks')
>>> p.ylabel('Funding (Pounds\S10\N)')
>>> p.multi(2,1)  # Multiple plots: 2 rows, 1 column
>>> p.xlimit(0, 6)  # Set limits of x-axis
>>> p.focus(1,0)  # Set current graph to row 1, column 0
>>> p.histoPlot( [7, 15, 18, 20, 21], x_min=1,
...              dy=[2, 3.5, 4.6, 7.2, 8.8]) # A histogram w/errorbars
>>> p.xlabel('Silliness Index')
>>> p.ylabel('Applications/yr')
>>> p.xlimit(0, 6)  # Set limits of x-axis
