[Yt-dev] Request for Review: Pylab in reason

[Matthew Turk]

Hi all,

I added what I think is support for Pylab to the current tip of the yt repo.

What it does is create (dynamically) a new backend that overloads the
interactivity commands in pylab to dump out images and display them
inline.  I had to hack around a little bit to make sure that it worked
if you had specified a GUI engine in your matplotlibrc.

All of the work is done in extdirect_repl.py, in the reason_pylab and
deliver_image functions.

Anyway, if some people could test it out, see if it works to do things like:

pylab.plot( ... )

and so on and so forth, that'd be great.  I've been using it and it
works for me, and I'm pretty pumped about having general plotting
included in Reason, so I'd like to hear if it works for others.
