Hi John,
Which backend are you using? I've had luck in the past with the macosx backend. You may also want to try the ps or cairo backends. I wish there was more documentation on this, but unfortunately, the section of the matplotlib docs on the different backend choices seems to have been removed: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/backends.html

I played around with stuff, but I couldn't seem to get rid of the banding, and since it was a minor effect I let it slide. I'd be interested to hear if you find a solution, though! Good luck.
