Hi Eduardo,
Have you tried Gnuplot.py yet? (It's the first link that shows up when you
search on Google for 'python gnuplot'). Anyway, it's _very_ easy to use
and works great. While you're on sourceforge downloading Gnuplot.py, also
go get Numerical Python if you don't have it already as Gnuplot.py needs
it.
