It sounds like your use was significantly more advanced.  My degree was in
Biochemistry and despite a brief foray into bioinformatics my interest is
still very much in biology and health.  The closest I've gotten to machine
learning is PCA.

My needs for matplotlib are fairly simple, consistent style and better than
Excel is all I really need.

Also one objective for 2011 that I missed -
- actually make it to a meetup.
