Oops -- that should be
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matlab_to_pylab.py

In a nutshell, wherever you previously imported matplotlib.matlab you
can import matplotlib.pylab or equivalently, simply pylab

OLD:
from matplotlib.matlab import plot

NEW:
from pylab import plot

The script linked above will recursively search and replace these
strings for you in your scripts directory.
