Interestingly, I've had the opposite experience --- matplotlib plots
look as good or better than gnuplot ones, fully publication quality.

Here's my matplotlibrc (you'll probably need to grab the stix math
fonts, though):

# -- Output settings
path.simplify: True
savefig.dpi: 300
ps.papersize: a4
ps.usedistiller: xpdf

# -- Font settings
text.usetex: false

font.size: 10.0
font.family: serif
font.serif: STIXGeneral
font.sans-serif: Arial
font.cursive: Zapf Chancery
font.monospace: Courier New

mathtext.fontset: stix

axes.labelsize: medium
axes.titlesize: medium
legend.fontsize: medium
xtick.labelsize: medium
ytick.labelsize: medium


# -- Figure size default settings (interactive use)
figure.figsize: 6, 4
figure.subplot.left : 0.2
figure.subplot.bottom: 0.2
figure.subplot.right : 0.95
figure.subplot.top: 0.9
