Yes.

Not at the moment.

The short answer here is there is a project already underway that will replace
plt -- its just been started.  Check out the ViewCVS repository on scipy.org and
look for chaco.  I haven't gotten around to writing an announcement or web pages
for this project, as I've been working on architectural issues and a proof of
concept implementation of the low-level API on wxPython and Mac OS X.  I'll put
something together next week though so we can get some discussion going and also
so I can get some help... :-)

see ya,
eric
